If you love the chocolate- mint combination, these are for you! These cookies are the perfect blend of classic chocolate chip and Mint Oreos. I love the bit of green peeking through and the fantastic mint flavor.

Ingredients for Mint Chip Oreo Cookies

Butter: Use ¾ cup butter, softened, to add moisture and richness, helping create a tender cookie.

Sugars: The combination of ½ cup each brown sugar and granulated sugar offers sweetness and color.

Extracts: Adding 1 tsp vanilla extract and ½ tsp mint extract enhance the overall flavor, with mint delivering a cool contrast to the chocolate.

Flour: 1 ½ cups all purpose flour forms the structure by providing necessary gluten.

Leavening agents: You need 1 TBSP cornstarch, 1 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp baking soda ensure the cookies rise properly without becoming too dense.

Chocolate: Using ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips add smooth, melted pockets of chocolate.

Cookies: 10 Mint Oreos, chopped & divided, lends crunch and an additional mint-chocolate layer.

Tips for Perfect Cookie Texture and Flavor

Cream the butter and sugars well to incorporate air. This process influences how soft and fluffy your cookies will be.
Avoid overmixing once you add flour mixture; mixing just until combined keeps the cookies tender.
Adding extra Oreo crumbs on top before baking not only looks amazing, but it also intensifies the mint flavor in each bite.

How long are these Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies good for?

Store your Mint Oreo Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh and soft for up to 4-5 days. If you want to keep them longer, place a slice of bread in the container to help retain moisture. This simple trick prevents the cookies from becoming too hard.

To freeze your cookies, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Separate layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking. Mint Oreo Cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months without significant flavor or texture loss.

Nutrition

Do I need to chill the cookie dough?

No, this cookie dough does not need to be chilled before baking. However, if you’d like, keep the cookie dough that’s not in the oven, in the fridge, if you live in a warm climate, to prevent the cookie dough from getting too warm.

How small should I chop the Oreos?

You should chop the Oreos quite small, you should be able to cut each one into 4 strips, then turn 90 degrees and cut 3 more times.

Should I remove the Oreo filling before chopping, or before adding to the cookie dough?

No need to remove the filling. The filling actually adds its texture to the cookie, making them even more irresistible.

Do I have to add the extra chopped Oreos on top of the cookies before baking?

No, this is simply to make the cookies look prettier. You can add all of the chopped oreo to the cookie dough if you prefer.
