And the thanks for naming these cookies goes to…my amazing Facebook followers!
Yesterday I was editing the photos for these fabulously delicious double chocolate cookies that were coated with crumbled Oreos. But for the life of me, I could not figure out what to name them! So I turned to Facebook for some help, and they immediately came to a delicious rescue. The suggestions ranged from everything from Black Magic Cookies, to Oreo Chocolate Explosions, to Chocodoodles (a close second!), to Choreos, to Ore-OH My! Cookies, to Oreo-Fluffed Chocolate Cookies, to Rx Monday Cookies, to my favorite…”Mine”. The list goes on, but suffice it to say, I need to remember to ask for suggestions more often. :)
In the end, Oreo-Doodles kept resurfacing as the favorite. So Websters, get ready, we have a new favorite cookie to add to the dictionary!
As I had hoped, these cookies turned out to be incredibly chocolicious. I used my favorite double chocolate cookie base, and then simply dipped the dough balls in Oreo crumbs. Ridiculously good. I used chocolate chips in the cookies, but realized afterwards that you could also use larger crumbles of Oreos instead (inside of the cookies) if you’d like. Either way, these are super fun, and my taste-testing friends and I gave them a big thumbs up.
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Melt coarsely chopped chocolate with the butter in a small heatproof bowl in a double-boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently.
Once melted, transfer chocolate mixture to the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix on medium speed until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Fold in chocolate chips.
Form batter into heaping tablespoon-fulls, then roll into balls. Roll each ball in the crumbled Oreos until covered, then place the dough balls 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until cookies are flat and surfaces begin to crack, about 12-15 minutes. (*Do not overbake these, or they will totally dry out!*) Transfer on parchment to wire racks and let cool.
Serve immediately, or store in a sealed container for up to 3 weeks.
Amazing name! I seriously cannot think of one better! And these cookies are just my style! I’m sure I could have a dozen of these in the blink of an eye :)
your fb fans are so clever! and this recipe?? even more clever! Ali, i love these cookies! and the name is too cute. i smiled reading this post and drooling over your photos. i just want one right now. :)
These are such gorgeous cookies. They look perfectly crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle and packed with Oreo/chocolate flavour. I’d love a giant plate of these with a tall cold glass of milk (and it’s only 9am!).
Found a picture of these cookies on Pinterest and went on the website for the recipe. They are fantastic! I can’t wait to take these to my daughter who loves chocolate cookies.

Hi! You can always use egg replacer, or do a flax egg: For every 1 egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water (let it soak for about 5 minutes), use 2 1/2 tablespoons of powdered egg substitute, combined with 2 1/2 tablespoons of water. We hope that helps!
oh my goodness! This is ingenious! We are going to love these over here!
I don’t care what they’re called… I want them in my life right this instant. :) Yummy!

You found a name! And a great one at that. Love this!
So clever! These would not last long in our house!

Can I use a hand mixer instead of a stand up?
Just made these crusted with Peppermint Joe Joes…amazing!
These sound delicious! I’ve been crumbling Oreo’s over dark chocolate ice cream for a while now, so this would be a more portable version. Thanks!
Made these last night…they are amazing!! Easy, but messy, to make. Perfect for Christmas as they look like ‘lumps of coal’!
These look amazing!!! I need to make these – I love anything with oreo!

Hi! I was wondering if you could use the oreo’s cream in the middle and add it to the recipe? Like, it would have streaks of white in them?
Oooh, I actually have no idea. The cream is shortening-based, so it might work in cookies. If you try it, let me know!
