What You’ll Need
Equipment:
- Large mixing bowls
- Electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer)
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
- Cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¼ cups packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&M’s chocolate candies
- 18-24 Oreo cookies (depending on how many cookies you make)
How to Make Oreo Stuffed Monster Cookies
- Cream Together: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and creamy peanut butter until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the old-fashioned rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet & Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and M&M’s until evenly distributed throughout the dough. This chunky dough is what makes these Oreo Stuffed Monster Cookies truly special!
- Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours). This helps prevent spreading.
- Preheat Oven & Prep Sheets: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Stuff the Oreos: Take a generous amount of cookie dough (about 2-3 tablespoons per cookie). Flatten it into a disc in your hand. Place one Oreo cookie in the center and carefully wrap the dough around it, sealing completely to ensure the Oreo is fully enclosed. Roll gently to form a ball.
- Bake: Place the stuffed cookie dough balls about 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. For perfect homemade cookies, don’t overbake!
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the warm, gooey goodness!
Fun Twists & Serving Ideas
- Mini Me: Use mini Oreos and make smaller monster cookies for bite-sized fun.
- Candy Swap: Experiment with different candies like Reese’s Pieces, chopped Snickers, or pretzel bits for a salty-sweet crunch.
- Nutty Affair: Add ½ cup of chopped peanuts or pecans to the dough for extra texture.
- Double Chocolate: Swap out some semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate or dark chocolate chunks.
- Ice Cream Sandwich: Once cooled, slice these beauties in half and fill with a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an epic dessert sandwich!
- Warm with Milk: There’s nothing better than a warm, freshly baked monster cookie with a tall glass of cold milk.
Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
- Storage: Store cooled Oreo Stuffed Monster Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing Dough: You can freeze the prepared cookie dough balls (unstuffed or stuffed) for up to 3 months. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Freezing Baked Cookies: Cooled baked cookies can also be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave.

Oreo Stuffed Monster Cookies FAQs
Q: Can I use different types of Oreos?
A: Absolutely! Double Stuf, Golden Oreos, or even seasonal flavors would be fantastic in these cookies. Get creative!
Q: Why do I need to chill the dough?
A: Chilling helps solidify the butter, preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking, resulting in a thicker, chewier cookie.
Q: Can I make these gluten-free?
A: Yes, you can substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and ensure your oats are certified gluten-free. Make sure the Oreos you use are also gluten-free if applicable.
Q: How do I prevent my cookies from drying out?
A: Don’t overbake them! Pull them from the oven when the edges are set but the centers still look a little soft. They will continue to set as they cool.
