By incorporating crushed Oreos into your cookie dough, you not only enhance the flavor but also add delightful textures that elevate your cookies to a new level. The crunch of Oreos offers a delightful contrast to the softness of the cake mix base.

These cookies are perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying during family gatherings. The familiar taste of Oreos combined with the moistness of cake mix creates a nostalgic experience for many. They are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike, making them a go-to treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 box of chocolate cake mix
2 large eggs
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 cup of crushed Oreos
1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional)

Mix all the ingredients well to create a dough.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined. Fold in the crushed Oreos and chocolate chips if using.

Scoop and Bake

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set.

Cool and Serve

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.

Tips for Success

For the best results, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Too much cake mix can lead to dry cookies, while too little may result in overly gooey ones. It's also essential to mix the dough just until combined; overmixing can lead to tougher cookies. If you find the dough too sticky, refrigerating it for about 30 minutes before baking can help.

Experimenting with different types of Oreos can also yield exciting results. From classic to double-stuffed or even seasonal flavors, each variation adds a unique twist to your cookies. Consider mixing in other add-ins like nuts or dried fruit for added flavor and texture.

Storage and Freshness

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to a week, though they’re likely to disappear much sooner! If you want to prolong their shelf life, consider freezing them. Just ensure they are completely cooled before placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container.

When you’re ready to enjoy your frozen cookies, simply let them thaw at room temperature for a bit. You can also warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back that freshly-baked goodness.

Serving Suggestions

These Cake Mix Oreo Cookies are delicious on their own, but you can elevate them further by pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The warm cookies and cold ice cream create a delightful contrast that’s hard to resist. You can even crumble the cookies on top of your favorite dessert for an extra layer of flavor.

For a fun twist, consider drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled cookies or sprinkling them with sea salt. These simple additions can transform your cookies from delightful to extraordinary, making them perfect for any dessert table.
