Why destroy perfectly fine cookies in order to bake more cookies? Because they’re DELICIOUS! The dough is flecked with tiny bits of broken sandwich cookie dust, giving them the appearance of being created with dirt, according to someone who has seen them.

The recipe is great as it is. I have made these cookies several times and everyone keeps asking for more. A recipe that is submitted should not be changed!
Excellent cookie. I’m so glad I gave it a try. Pretty well followed the recipe except for using half butter and half margarine. As far as the crushed cookies, I used a bit more with a combination of chocolate sandwich cookies and some small (3/4” diameter) cookie-type things that I wanted to get rid of. Followed suggestions to not chop them fine. I totally enjoyed these cookies. Not too buttery, can’t taste salt – just a really good, crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, cookie.
These cookies were fabulous and the family loved them. The first time I made these I followed the recipe. The next time I substituted coconut oil for the butter and I noticed they baked more puffy. The family did not notice the change. They said they were “very buttery.” These were so much better than the store bought ones and I even froze some dough balls to bake later. Thank you for this recipe. I have a new cookie in my arsenal!
I used a latex baking sheet on top of my cookie sheet so I wouldn’t have to grease the pan. Mine turned out almost cake-like, but very good.
I just finished making these ingenious cookies for a church potluck today and really want to share my thoughts and experience which I don’t normally do. First I would like to say I made them solely to use up an 8 oz. bag of mini Oreo cookies coming close to expiration. However, after making & tasting these gems I will buy Oreo cookies specifically for making these in the future. I did make some slight changes but nothing I think would alter the recipe to a brand new one. As I said, I used an 8 oz. bag of mini Oreos. Thinking because they were mini’s I followed another review advice and added at end without crushing to let the electric mixer do. Big mistake. I liked the dough color when I first added but by the time they were in acceptable chunks I didn’t like the color. Lesson learned. Will crush into chunks first then fold in at the end. I used 1/2 butter-1/2 margarine as I felt the Oreo filling had enough shortening already. In some reviews chocolate chips were added. I choose not to and will not in the future. I like the “Dirt Cookie” version of the “Dirt Ice Cream Cups” minus the gummy worms. Adam you did good here. I can’t wait to make these for my grandsons especially the youngest one named Adam. He is going to love them and will be tickled when I tell him their name. As far as the texture, taste, etc. of the cookies….they lived up to and even more than the description. The recipe was spot on for the yield. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Excellent cookie. Received rave reviews. Only change I made was I upped the (double stuff) Oreos to 2 1/2 cups.
These were good but I wish there was more oreo flavor. It tasted like a chocolate chip cookie, without the chocolate bursts of flavor. Watch them carefully – they stink when they are burnt (as all cookies do I’m sure).
Instead of sandwich cookie crumbs, I used egg nog cookies that someone gave me which I wasnt’t too fond of. Also added some chocolate chips. Worked well.
These cookies are phenomenal! What a great variation on a normal sugar cookie. The only changes I made were 1 stick of butter and 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening and I added a 1/2 tsp of baking powder – cookies did not flatten out too much like some reviewers stated. My fiance ate almost the whole batch in one sitting; looks like I need to go get more oreos!
I baked this last evening for a benefit bake sale and waited until this morning to write a review so I could sample a completely cooled cookie, first (what cookie doesn’t taste awesome fresh out of the oven?!). These have a nice crisp edge and chewy middle. They also have a great buttery, slightly different w/the crushed Oreos, taste. However, I’m just not sure I’ll “waste” perfectly delicious on their own, Double Stuffed Oreos to make these again. Perhaps if they were a touch stale and you didn’t want to just pitch them? They’re definately worth trying (and a single batch only uses 1/2 of a traditional sized package of Oreos), though. THANKS for the recipe, Adam!
I made these cookie’s for the grandkids they loved them and the shocker here is my daughter and her boyfriend loved them to they ate them all in one day i followed the recipe to the letter thankyou
These cookies are SO good! My husband ate 5 before asking me to hide them! Follow the recipe exactly and enjoy, these will be great Christmas gifts this year. Yum!
These are without a doubt the most delicious cookie I have ever made. I had no problems with them being too flat. They were the absolute perfect texture, incredibly soft, and the flavor… Wow. Just..thank you.
This is a fabulous cookie. It’s like a sugar cookie/Oreo combination. It cuts the Oreo flavor just enough. I used half butter, half margarine and they spread just enough and stayed soft. This is a definite will make again! They do look like dirt cookies, but that adds to the fun of them.
Great cookies. Similar to Nestle Toll House Cookies. Next time I will try 3 c double stuffed Oreos (or maybe one whole package). 1 t salt is way too much for my taste! Next time I will use 1/4 t. My kids love this!
Good flavor but very flat.
These are an excellant cookie, that no one can complain about. Nice and different from the same old recipes we always use. We will be making these many times but doubling next time.
Great recipe!! Cookies aren’t too sweet because of the brown sugar which is nice. I didn’t have any Oreo’s in the house so I made mine with some Thin Mint cookies-aweeeesome!!
What’s better than a cookie you love? A cookie you love, crumbled up & baked in another cookie you love! These were delicious. The only thing I did differently was to break the chocolate cookies into bigger pieces (did not completely crumble them) and I added an extra cup of the pieces — so 2 1/2 cups instead of 1 1/2 cups.
Nice! Used purchased oreo cookie crumbs… might try the crushed cookies next time.
Completed recipe as written…. wonderful cookies. Used them for a Haiti fundraiser since children in Haiti sometimes eat “mud cakes” to keep from being hungry. It was a cute play on a serious subject, and we raised a LOT of donations.
