How to Make Oreo Halloween Cookies

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Oreos: Use a food processor to finely grind 10 Oreos. Set aside the remaining Oreos to crush for topping.
3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat until fully combined, about 3–4 minutes.
4. Add the egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg until fully incorporated, then mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
6. Mix the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending until just combined.
7. Fold in the goodies: Stir in the chocolate chips, M&M’s, and ground Oreos until well distributed.
8. Scoop and shape: Use a cookie scoop (or about 1.5 tablespoons of dough) to portion the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing cookies about two inches apart.
9. Top with Oreos and M&M’s: Gently press crushed Oreo pieces and extra M&M’s onto the top of each cookie.
10. Bake: Bake each sheet of cookies separately for 10–11 minutes. Remove from the oven and quickly press candy eyeballs onto the cookies for a spooky effect.
11. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions

These Oreo Halloween Cookies are perfect alongside a warm mug of hot chocolate or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Stack them on a Halloween platter for a party, or let kids enjoy them as an after-school treat.

Tips for Perfect Oreo Halloween Cookies

• Crush the Oreos as you like: Some may prefer large Oreo chunks on top; others might like finer pieces. Customize to your taste!
• Add candy eyeballs after baking: This helps them stay on top without melting, ensuring they look extra spooky.
• Make them extra festive: Sprinkle a few more M&M’s and Oreo bits on after baking for added color and texture.

Storage Instructions

Keep your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh and delicious for up to 3–5 days—if they last that long!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use unsalted butter instead of salted?
A: Yes, if using unsalted butter, just add an extra pinch of salt to the dough to balance the flavors.

Q: What if I don’t have a food processor?
A: No problem! Place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin for a similar effect.

Q: Can I freeze these cookies?
A: Absolutely! Freeze the dough scoops on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the baking time.
