These Frosted Oreo Cookies are the ultimate Oreo lovers cookie! Soft center cookies get covered in cream cheese frosting before sprinkling with more Oreos. These are great to make ahead of time, and the recipe can easily be multiplied to feed a crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a super simple cookie recipe in itself, with no chill time required. Simply mix up the cookie dough, roll into balls and bake! Press them down just a little on the tray, and use a cookie cutter to ‘scoot’ the baked cookies into perfect circles. The end result is a fairly soft cookie, with only a little crispness around the edges. Be gentle when frosting because of this! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brown sugar and vanilla are crucial to deep flavours and the gorgeous texture. Once the dough has chilled simply bake as balls. This way, either chill your dough in a bowl, or you can pre-roll it on a baking sheet ready to divide up so they have room to spread during baking. Once baked, let them cool before making the frosting. The frosting is a really simple cream cheese buttercream which gets spread over the cookies. The base of the buttercream is simply full fat cream cheese and powdered sugar. Top with some Oreo crumbs and crushed cookies for that perfect final touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING GREAT COOKIES, THERE ARE A FEW KEY TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Quality Ingredients: Start with high-quality ingredients, including butter, sugar, flour, and, in the case of vanilla cookies, pure vanilla extract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Creaming Method: Use the creaming method to properly mix the butter and sugar. Creaming incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter texture for the cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Proper Mixing: Be careful not to overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added. Overmixing can lead to tough and dense cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Chilling the Dough: Chilling the cookie dough before baking can help solidify the fats and prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. This can result in a thicker, chewier texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Baking Time: Be sure to keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake. They should be removed from the oven when they are just set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    By following these tips, you can create delicious chocolate chip cookies that are sure to impress! I love serving these as an easy bake for when friends come over, and are great to take into the office or school. Change up the sizes of the balls before baking for smaller cookies. If you do this, reduce the bake time by a minute or two for the perfect crisp outer and soft center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    INGREDIENTS REQUIRED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are no specialist ingredients or equipment required for this bake. I can find everything I need at my local supermarket or grocery store. Also, I use a standard large baking tray\/cookie sheet. Bake across two pans as the cookies spread while baking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
