What to Gather for Funfetti Inspired Oreo and Sprinkles Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gathering the right ingredients is crucial to create the perfect cookie. Each element plays a vital role in achieving that dreamy texture and flavor. From the sweet butter to the crunchy Oreo pieces, these ingredients work in harmony to make your cookie experience unforgettable.

• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened (1 ½ sticks) – The base of our cookie, providing richness and tenderness.
• ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed – Adds moisture and a deep caramel flavor.
• ¼ cup granulated sugar – Balances the sweetness and contributes to the cookie’s crisp edges.
• 1 large egg – Binds the ingredients together and adds moisture.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor profile.
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour – The main structure of our cookie.
• 1 packet (3.5 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix, not sugar-free – Provides moisture and a soft texture.
• 1 teaspoon baking soda – Helps the cookies rise and become fluffy.
• Pinch of salt, optional – Balances the sweetness.
• 20 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped – Adds a delightful crunch and flavor.
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips – Each bite will be filled with melty chocolate goodness.
• ½ cup sprinkles – Adds a burst of color and fun.

How to Assemble Funfetti Inspired Oreo and Sprinkles Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now that you have everything ready, let’s dive into the steps to create these delicious cookies. Trust me, the process is as enjoyable as the outcome! You’ll be amazed at how simple it is to combine these ingredients into something magical.

1. Start by taking a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and add the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, large egg, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about four minutes. This step is crucial for creating a soft texture in your cookies.
2. Once the mixture is lightened, stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well mixed. Next, add in the all-purpose flour, instant vanilla pudding mix, baking soda, and the optional salt. Beat on low speed until just combined. You want to avoid overmixing here to keep those cookies tender.
3. Again, stop and scrape down the bowl. Now, add the chopped Oreo cookies, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and sprinkles. Beat on low speed for about thirty seconds until they are evenly distributed within the dough. The color and texture of the dough should be inviting at this point.
4. Using a large cookie scoop, or a ¼-cup measuring cup, form the dough into about sixteen equal-sized mounds. Gently roll them into balls and flatten them slightly. A fun tip is to take some of the Oreo pieces and place a few on top of each dough mound for an extra decorative touch.
5. Arrange the mounds on a large plate or tray. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours, or up to five days. Chilling the dough is important as it helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
6. Once you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray it with cooking spray to ensure the cookies don’t stick.
7. Place your chilled dough mounds on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced at least two inches apart. I usually bake about eight cookies per sheet to allow for spreading.
8. Now, bake the cookies for about eleven minutes. You want the edges to be set while the tops remain slightly undercooked and glossy in the center. This is key for achieving that perfect chewy texture!
9. Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about ten minutes before serving. Resist the urge to move them to a cooling rack; it helps them set perfectly.
10. These cookies will keep fresh at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. If you find yourself with extra dough, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer for four months.

Variations to Try

While these cookies are already a treat, there are plenty of ways to mix things up! Here are some variations that can add a unique twist:

• Chocolate Lovers: Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with cocoa powder to create a chocolate version of these cookies.
• Nutty Addition: Add a half cup of chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for a crunchy texture.
• Different Sprinkles: Use themed sprinkles to match different occasions. For instance, red and green sprinkles for Christmas, or pastel ones for Easter.
• Stuffed Cookies: Consider stuffing the cookies with a piece of chocolate or a mini Oreo for an extra surprise.
• Go Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free flour blend to make these cookies gluten-free, so everyone can enjoy them.
• Mix & Match: Combine different flavors by using peanut butter chips or mint chocolate chips alongside the Oreo and chocolate chips.

Best Served With

These cookies are perfect for a variety of occasions and pair beautifully with many items. Here’s how to serve them:

• Milk: Pair these cookies with a cold glass of milk, as it complements the sweetness and richness perfectly.
• Iced Coffee: Enjoy with a refreshing iced coffee for a delightful afternoon snack!
• Parties: Serve them at birthday parties, family gatherings, or holiday celebrations to impress your guests.
• Lunch Boxes: They make for a sweet treat in kids’ lunch boxes, adding a little joy to their day.
• Seasonal Occasions: Use themed sprinkles to match various holidays, like Halloween or Valentine’s Day, making them festive treats.
• Outdoor Picnics: These cookies are great for picnics; package them in cute containers for easy transport.

Equipment

• Chef's Knife
• Mixing Bowl
• Oven
• Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  

• ¾ cup unsalted butter (1 ½ sticks)
• ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet instant vanilla pudding mix (3.5 ounces, not sugar-free)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt optional
• 20 Oreo cookies coarsely chopped
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup sprinkles

Instructions

 

• To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl and electric mixer) combine the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined, about four minutes.
• Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the all-purpose flour, instant vanilla pudding mix, baking soda, and optional salt, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute.
• Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the Oreo cookies, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and sprinkles, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.
• Using a large cookie scoop, 1/4-cup measure, or your hands, form approximately 16 equal-sized mounds of dough, roll into balls, and flatten slightly. Tip – strategically place a few Oreo pieces right on top of each mound of dough by taking chips from the underside and adding them on top.
• Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 5 days. Do not bake with unchilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading.
• Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray. Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet) and bake for about 11 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked, pale, and glossy in the center; don’t overbake. Cookies firm up as they cool.
• Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don’t use a rack.
• Cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future when desired.
