Cookies n’ Creme Stuffed Oatmeal Cookies
These Cookies n’ Creme Stuffed Oatmeal Cookies will quickly become a family favourite! These soft and chewy oatmeal cookies have a delicious creamy candy filled centre.
If you’ve never tried a candy stuffed cookie, it’s time you did! Stuffed cookies are absolutely delightful. I have tried a few different recipes over the years, and there are 2 that I especially love: my Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies, and these Cookies n’ Creme Drops Stuffed Oatmeal Cookies. They’re so good. And so simple to make.
About these candy stuffed cookies:
Take a chewy oatmeal cookie up a notch and stuff it with a creamy vanilla chocolate candy! The centre is a delicious surprise in these Cookies n’ Creme Drops Stuffed Oatmeal Cookies.
So simple and fun!
Stuffing cookies is so easy…really it’s just as simple as taking a chocolate candy, wrapping cookie dough around it, then baking. The hardest part is waiting for the cookies to bake. 😉
How to stuff these Cookies n’ Creme Stuffed Oatmeal Cookies:
There are 2 ways to make these cookies: you can use the Cookies n’ Creme drops or chunks of the Cookies n’ Creme chocolate bars. When I use the chocolate bars I also like to add a piece to the top of each cookie before baking.
But both methods have you placing the candy in the centre of a cookie dough ball, rolling it together, lightly pressing down, then baking for 8 minutes. It’s really so easy…even the kids can help!
Stuffed Cookie Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Chocolate: Use Hershey’s Cookies n’ Creme Drops or pieces of the Cookies n’ Creme chocolate bars.
- Adding chocolate to the tops: If you like, you can add a small piece of chocolate to the top of the dough before baking.
- Freezing: These cookies freeze well. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Double it! This recipe is easily doubled.
