A rich chocolate Oreo cookie base is loaded with Oreo cookie crumbs and black cocoa powder, then topped with a vanilla cream cheese frosting. This cookie is big, soft, and so yummy!
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream butter and sugars on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add flour, cocoa, 2 cups Oreo crumbs, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix to combine.
Portion into 1/3 cup balls. Roll each ball in the remaining 1/2 cup crushed Oreo crumbs. Place the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. (6 per pan). Use the palm of your hand to press down on the cookie slightly, so that the cookie dough ball creates a thick disk.
Bake for 8-9 minutes or until the edges are just barely set and the tops are no longer shiny. (Do not overbake these cookies!) Remove from oven and let cookies cool on pan for 3 minutes then transfer to wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting
Cream the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium speed. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time until fully combined. Add the vanilla and heavy cream, if needed.
Place the frosting in a ziplock bag and snip the corner off of the bag. Squeeze the frosting in a circle along the tops of each cookie, starting in the center and working your way around until it reaches the edges.
Sprinkle some Oreo cookie crumbs overtop of the frosting. Enjoy!
Notes
Storing: Store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge after the frosting has set. They will last for about 3-5 days.Use a food processor to make the Oreo cookie crumbs — so much easier than smashing in a bag!
