Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (255g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup/110g)
  • 3/4 cup (70g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (55g) sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (80g) mini M&M’s or chocolate candies

Instructions

  1. Measure out all ingredients before starting. Chop Oreos into chunky pieces (about 1/2 inch). Toast nuts or coconut if using, for extra flavor.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add vanilla extract and mix until glossy and slightly thick.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in two batches, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, nuts, coconut, and mini M&M’s with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. Chill the dough in the fridge for 20 minutes for crispier edges.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) onto the sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten tops slightly.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look just set. Rotate pans halfway through baking.
  10. Let cookies cool on the tray for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps achieve crispier edges. For nut-free cookies, omit nuts and add extra Oreos or candies. You can substitute gluten-free flour and Oreos for a gluten-free version, or use vegan butter and flax eggs for a vegan option. Cookies can be frozen before or after baking. For extra crunch, flatten dough balls before baking.
