Best M&M Oreo Cookies

Teresa Ambra
These sensational cookies start with a Mrs. Field's copycat chocolate chip cookie recipe that uses M&Ms and Oreos instead! They are absolutely amazing. Terrific for holiday baking or tailgating parties.

Equipment

  • 3 18x26" cookie sheet pans
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spatula
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 zip lock bag without the "stand and fill" bottom

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (no imitation vanilla flavoring)
  • 3 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 3/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 cups M&Ms
  • 2 cups Oreo cookies crushed, (see note below)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Place Oreo cookies in a large zip-lock bag.
  • Smash Oreos with a rolling pin until well crushed.
  • Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder and baking soda with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Stir in flour, Oreos and M&Ms and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon to combine.
  • Make sure the cookie dough is very thoroughly combined; this may take 4-5 minutes.
  • Shape dough with hands into golf ball-sized dough balls and place a couple inches apart on greased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until edges are light brown.
  • Rotate cookies on racks every six to eight minutes while baking.
  • Cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: I do not recommend a food processor to crush the Oreos. It will over-process the cookies so that they become too fine. You want large chunks of the cookies in the recipe to provide texture.
 
NOTE: I was baking 4 racks at a time with 24 cookies per cookie sheet. My cookies took longer to bake – about 20-24 minutes. I rotated cookie sheets every eight minutes.
 
NOTE: I kept my hands slightly moist while rolling the dough into balls.
