There’s something about October that fills the kitchen with warmth and magic. The leaves outside may crunch underfoot, the evenings may stretch a little longer, but inside, there’s the sweet smell of cookies baking away—especially when they’re stuffed with Oreos and sprinkled with festive Halloween colors. These Halloween Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies are the ultimate treat for spooky season. They’re big, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chips, but the surprise Oreo center is what makes everyone’s eyes light up when they take that first bite.

Baking these cookies is not just about the end result—it’s about the cozy joy of making them. Picture this: the kitchen counter scattered with orange and black sprinkles, a mixing bowl full of buttery dough, and a tray of Oreos waiting to be tucked into each cookie ball. It’s messy, it’s fun, and it’s exactly the kind of festive tradition that makes Halloween feel special.

Whether you’re hosting a party, making goodie bags for trick-or-treaters, or simply indulging in a seasonal baking session, these cookies fit the bill. They’re quick enough for a weeknight bake but impressive enough to steal the spotlight at a dessert table.

Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
15 Oreo cookies (Halloween or classic), whole
½ cup crushed Oreos (for topping)
3 tbsp Halloween sprinkles (orange and black)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it slightly in your palm, and place one Oreo in the center. Cover the Oreo with another spoonful of dough, sealing the edges completely.
Place stuffed dough balls on prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
Top with crushed Oreos and sprinkles, gently pressing them into the dough.
Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm for gooey centers, or let cool completely for a chewy bite.

These cookies are soft, chewy, and bursting with chocolate. But that Oreo in the middle? It’s the surprise that makes kids giggle and adults sneak back for seconds. Plus, the sprinkles give them that perfect Halloween charm—festive, colorful, and just a little spooky.

For an extra touch, you can even dip half the cookie in melted chocolate and coat it with more sprinkles. They’re the kind of cookies that double as decorations on your dessert table.

Pair these with a glass of milk, hot cocoa, or even a pumpkin spice latte for the coziest Halloween snack.
