These Nutty About Oreo Cookies have to be my favorite of the ones I made for my March extreme cookies series! These things are so good! They are actually made with the same base dough as my Ultimate Reese's Cookies. These are chocolate dough with peanut butter chips. The center in then filled with an Oreo and a scoop of peanut butter. To top off the cookie, I placed a Nutter Butter and drizzled peanut butter ganache on top! This cookie is definitely not for the faint of heart!
INGREDIENT HIGHLIGHTS:
Below is a summary of some of the key ingredients in these Nutty About Oreo Cookies!
- Espresso Powder. If you don't have espresso powder as one of your pantry staples, I highly suggest changing that ASAP. I typically use espresso powder in chocolate baked goods to enhance the chocolate flavor. It can also be useful to give your baked goods a coffee flavor. I chose to add the espresso powder to these cookies to enhance the chocolate flavor and ensure that they were rich and delicious! Espresso powder can be found in most grocery store baking isles and is optional for this recipe, but it is definitely recommended!
- Cake Flour. Utilizing cake flour in cookies gives them a more light, fluffy, and delicate texture. I wanted these cookies to be very soft but not as cake-like as my Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cookies so you'll notice that these ones don't have as much cake flour and more all-purpose flour. If you do not want to buy cake flower, there is a common substitution for it that you can try instead. For the ¾ cups of cake flour that this recipe calls for, you would measure out ¾ cups of all-purpose flour. You then remove 1 ½ tablespoons of the flour and replace it with 1 ½ tablespoons of cornstarch or corn flour (preferably corn flour but either works).
TOOLS TO MAKE THIS RECIPE:
Below is a summary of the key tools that you will need to make these Nutty About Oreo Cookies!
- Stand Mixer. You will need this to mix the cookie dough. Stand mixers are great! I love Kitchenaid stand mixers. I have owned both tilt head mixers and bowl lift mixers from Kitchenaid and I prefer the bowl lift option. It seems more stable to me when mixing thicker doughs.
- Sheet Pan. This will be needed to bake the cookies (Note: I have not tested this linked product. The one that I have is not found online anymore but this is the same brand as the one I have.)
