Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
- 145 g salted butter
- 175 g brown sugar
- 35 g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 195 g all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- 195 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 7 spooky Halloween-themed Oreos
Process:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it. Once browned, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the browned butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble the Cookies: Take a large scoop of cookie dough (about 2-3 tablespoons) and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place an Oreo cookie in the center and wrap the dough around the Oreo, sealing the edges. Roll the dough into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the cookie dough balls and refrigerate for at least 40 minutes, or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
