Homemade Cookie Dough Oreos Recipe

Did you get a chance to try Oreo’s newest limited edition flavors? In January they released two new flavors: Cookie Dough and Rice Krispies Treats.

In all honesty, I actually prefer the Rice Krispies Treats flavor– which is weird for me, since I’m a chocolate girl. Regardless, I thought the cookie dough flavor would be a lot of fun to recreate (but making it taste better, of course).

I hemmed and hawed for days over which type of chocolate cookie I wanted to make for these Oreos. I found merit in both versions of homemade Oreos that I’ve tried… a crispy, crunchy chocolate shortbread would be more like a real Oreo, and I like the idea of that (see my Red Velvet Oreos).

But I was eventually convinced that the soft, cake-like Oreos would be the best way to go for this recipe. Mostly because I know the soft version of homemade Oreos usually have a sweet cream cheese filling, and I happen to have a great recipe for cookie dough dip with a cream cheese base. And I thought that made the combo quite poetic.

Big thanks to my sweet cousin, Shannon, for prompting me to make these!

And a shout out to both Nikki and Lindsay who beat me to the punch 😉 You can check out their versions of these copycat cookies on Chef in Training and Love and Olive Oil.

  2. As a food blogger you should have more respect for baking than coping out using a box of cake mix. There is no room for adaptation for food restrictions when you use a box mix in a recipe. Plus those things are full of crap.

  3. I saw this on Pinterest and made it that very night at my sister’s place for us, my 10 year old stepdaughter and my mom to try. We were so excited, and they were yummy and fairly easy to make, but I have to admit that none of us thought the center tasted anything like real cookie dough. The cream cheese is very dominant…still tasty, but not cookie dough-like at all. I’d love to try this concept again but maybe find a different recipe for the filling.

  4. Is the flour necessary? I could make a gluten-free version for my mom (using gluten-free cake mix), if the flour isn’t necessary.
    Also, suggestions for the extra filling…?
    Thanks.
