Ingredients
 
 

Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
Brown Sugar Oreo Topping
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 5 crushed oreos
Frosting
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

Step 1 — Preheat
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (convection). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2 — Make the Cookie Dough
  1. In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with the whisk or paddle attachment, beat the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar until light and off-white in color, about 1–2 minutes.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Step 3 — Add Dry Ingredients
  1. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the dough until no dry spots remain.
Step 4 — Scoop & Bake
  1. Scoop ⅓ cup portions of cookie dough and place onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly apart.
  2. Bake for 13–14 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  3. For perfectly round cookies, use a round bowl, cup, or cookie cutter to gently swirl around the cookies immediately after removing them from the oven.
  4. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring.
Step 5 — Make the Brown Sugar Oreo Topping & Frosting
  1. Crush the Oreos by hand or using a food processor.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, butter, cocoa powder, and crushed Oreos to create the brown sugar Oreo topping.
  3. For the frosting, beat the butter until light and off-white. Add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated and slightly thick. Add the heavy cream and extracts, then whip until light and fluffy.
Step 6 — Assemble & Store
  1. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar Oreo topping onto each cookie, then pipe or swirl the frosting on top.
  2. Enjoy fresh, or store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 8 days.
