Get the Recipe: Stuffed Cookies
These stuffed cookies are thick, chewy and gooey! They can be stuffed with Oreos, peanut butter cups, Nutella and more. They are over the top delicious and so fun!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 ¼ cups gluten free 1 to 1 flour, or all purpose flour
- 1 tsp tapioca flour, or cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 15 gluten free Oreos, or other filling, see note
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, beat cubes of butter, white sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.
- Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Next, add in gluten free 1 to 1 flour, tapioca flour and baking soda. Stir until a thick dough is formed.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop 1½ to 2 tablespoon cookie dough and roll into a ball. Flatten with hands.
- Place an Oreo on top.
- Then, place another flattened ball of dough on top of the Oreo. Use hands to completely enclose the Oreo. Add more dough if needed to completely cover Oreo. Repeat for all cookie dough.
- Place cookie dough balls at least 3 inches apart on baking pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are just barely lightly golden on top.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Use cold butter right from the fridge. Softened and/or melted butter will yield runny cookies.
- Beat butter and sugars until no clumps of butter remain. This usually takes around 3 minutes.
- If not gluten free, use all purpose flour and regular Oreos.
- I used gluten free Double Stuff Oreos for this recipe.
- Tapioca flour can be replaced with cornstarch.
- Bake until just barely golden brown on top. Do not over bake!
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- If using another filling, make sure the filling is not wet. For example, melted chocolate would not work. If using something like Nutella, scoop into small balls and freeze before adding to the middle of the dough.
