Peanut Butter Cookies with OREOS

Peanut butter cookies filled with chocolate, white chocolate, and crushed Oreo cookies. Yes, I did that, and it’s fantastic.

You know I’m always looking for ways to combine different kinds of cookies into one delicious treat.

Why You’ll LOVE These Cookies

Well, first, they’re peanut butter and Oreo cookies, and, really, I could just stop right there, but here’s the deal – these cookies ‘n cream butter cookies start with my favorite soft and chewy peanut butter cookies.

Except for this time, instead of just making basic peanut butter cookies, I added one of my favorite flavors: OREO!

They’re cookies and cream peanut butter cookies! The peanut butter makes them taste like Reese’s cookies and cream cookies – in other words, so good.

These make a few dozen cookies. They keep well on the counter for several days, or you can freeze them for cookie emergencies. I don’t chill the dough, but I like to run a fork over the top to give them that traditional peanut butter cookie look!

Ingredients in Oreo Peanut Butter Cookies

Butter: I always start with softened unsalted butter

Peanut Butter: Don’t use natural – make sure it’s a no-stir peanut butter.

Sugar: Packed brown sugar and granulated sugar make these perfectly sweet.

Large egg: No need for room temperature eggs unless you remember to leave them out.

Vanilla Extract: Always buy PURE vanilla.

Milk: My secret peanut butter cookie ingredient!

Salt: Not too much but needed to balance flavor.

Baking Soda: Makes them soft and chewy.

All-purpose flour: My standard cookie flour.

Chopped Oreo Cookies: Add tons of chopped Oreos!

How to make Peanut Butter Cookies with Oreos

  1. Cream the butter, peanut butter, and both types of sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  2. Add the egg, vanilla, milk, salt, and baking soda and mix until combined.
  3. Slowly add the flour and mix until the dough comes together.
  4. Stir in chopped Oreos.
  5. Scoop two tablespoons of cookie dough to form the cookie balls and place them on prepared baking sheets. Use a fork to make a crisscross on top of each dough ball.
  6. Bake the cookies at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until they just begin to brown. Cool the cookies on the cookies sheet before removing them.

Expert Tips

  • Oreos: You can chop the cookies in a food processor or place them in a bag and whack them a few times with a rolling pin. Just don’t crush them too much – you want cookie chunks.
  • Chocolate: Add some chocolate chips if you want! Use semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate chips.
  • Mixing: When you add the flour, add it a little at a time and mix in between each addition. Don’ overmix – just do it long enough to absorb the flour.
  • Storage: Store Oreos and peanut butter cookies in an airtight container for up to three days at room temperature. They can be frozen in sealable containers or Ziploc bags between layers of paper towels for up to one month.

  1. Dorothy. .  ah yes ..  the time suck that is Facebook. What are you gonna do? I figure as long as no small children are being harmed, it’s ok to spend some time there. .  for me, a lot of my friends live in different states so I love it for seeing photos of their kids and seeing what’s going on etc. .  and as for notifications . .  um yeah, I never have that problem. 😛 yeah right! I hear you sister. .  LOVE these cookies!! you are brilliant! 

  2. I totally hear you with getting sucked into social media, before you know it you’ve been on for hours!! Now I can munch on these cookies while I spend endless amount of time on the computer. Peanut butter, white chocolate and Oreos! What a genius combo!

  3. Thursdays are definitely better with cookies! These sound AMAZING, Dorothy! Love that you combined my two favorites. Pinned!

  4. You are torturing a girl who is still in the thick of Passover. I need these cookies when it all ends in a three days. They are what is missing in my life!
    I hear ya about the dangerous questions. I used to tell my mom not to ask me questions she didn’t want to hear the answers to, but boy, does the Internet bring that to a whole new level!

  5. Although I do love social media for staying connected and looking at pictures, I agree with you about how people will do (or say) anything they please on the web. They can hide behind insecurities and true emotions, by appearing differently on the web. For a few months, I went rogue from social media (Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram) just for that purpose. I think it’s really important to use the tools we’ve been given in a positive way. On that note, bring on all of the cookies. These look like they’d easily become a new favorite of mine. 😀
