Double Chocolate Holiday Oreo Cookies
Holiday Oreos are just the best! Each major holiday or season, Oreo comes out with a special holiday version – Spring, Summer, Halloween and my personal favorite, Christmas. To be fair, they don’t call them Christmas Oreos, they call them Holiday Oreos. For some reason they are just so much better than the regular Double Stuff Oreo. Honestly, I’m not even a big fan of the regular Double Stuff Oreos, but they add a little color to the crème, and I’m on board. Who knew, right?!?
This weekend we had another neighborhood football party, and I was of course, assigned to dessert duty. Since I stocked up on Holiday Oreos…umm… for the kids, of course…I knew I wanted to make a dessert that included them. I made the Peppermint Holiday Cookie Brownies last week but I wanted a handheld dessert this time and not a sit down with a plate and fork one. Cookies would be perfect! That is how the Double Chocolate Holiday Oreo Cookies came about this weekend. Oh yeah, I added some of the mint chocolate chips to give it just enough mint flavor to make them festive but not overwhelming.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (I used dark)
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 – 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 Tablespoons milk
- 16 Holiday Oreos (chopped)
- 1 – 1/4 cups Nestle Holiday chocolate chips (semi-sweet, red and green ones)
- 3/4 cup Nestle Winter chocolate chips (dark chocolate and mint)
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Chop 16 Holiday Oreos into pieces. I keep the pieces pretty chunky. Set aside.
3. Cream the butter and sugars together with a mixer (stand or hand) on medium speed until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until combined. Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix it all together until combined. Add the milk and mix until it is just combined. Stir in the chopped Holiday Oreos and chocolate chips.
5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop cookie dough onto baking sheet. Make them as big or as little as you’d like. Bake at 375 for 9-10 minutes.
6. After removing from oven, let the cookies stay on the cookie pan for a couple extra minutes. Remove cookies and cool on cooling rack.
