A sinful combination – Oreos stuffed with cookie dough and dipped in dark chocolate
This post is a product of procrastination – as was the last one, and the one before that.
Back in middle school, I never procrastinated. I always made sure my homework was done on Friday so I could enjoy the weekend. I was even able to go to the movies the night before a final exam (Yes, I had exams in middle school ?!?!)
Since then, it’s been going downhill. I always work a little in advance, so I’m not a full on procrastinator (I’ve never pulled an all nighter,) but I do wait until the last minute to put it all together. The production of this post spanned a week’s time, but I saved the post writing portion and assembly for the final hours before bed.
I wish I was more like the younger me. It was always such a relief to have everything done days ahead of time. The never ending options for procrastinating don’t make things any easier – Instagram, TV. But hey procrastinating’s not so bad because it leads to treats like these Cashew Butter Cookie Dough Stuffed Oreos.
I decided to make a simple batch of Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies, but couldn’t get motivated to actually go make the cookies. I was scrolling through Instagram and came across Campfire Crispies‘ Cookie Dough Cookie Bites and had to have them straight away!
When do you get your work done? Do you wait until the last minute or get everything done in advance?
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup cashew butter
- 1/3 cup cashew milk
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, more as needed
- 1 tsp canola oil
- 48 Oreos
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- In measuring cup or medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to combine sugar, brown sugar, canola oil and vanilla extract. Add cashew butter and mix to combine. Stir in cashew milk.
- Add dry ingredients to liquid and mix well.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide dough into 48 equal pieces and roll into balls. Separate oreos and place cookie dough in center. Carefully reassemble cookie.
- Melt dark chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments at 50 percent power until melted. Stir in canola oil.
- Dip Oreos in chocolate and top with sprinkles. Place Oreos on parchment lined baking sheet. Place in refrigerator and allow cookies to set. Once set, remove from pan and wrap individually in plastic wrap. If room is warm, store in refrigerator. Otherwise, may keep at room temperature.
Note: Since these won't be baked, you may omit the baking soda/baking powder if desired.

OMGee Megan! You’re killing me with these! These look totally decadent! My son Casey heads home from college the end of this week. I know he’d love to be greeted with a plate of these beauties! Thanks for sharing!
The Emotional Baker says
These would be the perfect treat! Thanks Mary Ann π
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
Now this is my kind of oreo! Such a fun idea, Megan! I have a feeling I would eat these ALL in no time!
The Emotional Baker says
Oh, I certainly could have eaten them all! Thanks Gayle π
Kate @ Framed Cooks says
OH. MY. GOSH. I would have zero, and I mean zero, self control around these babies!
The Emotional Baker says
It was very hard to eat these in moderation π Thanks Kate!
Mir says
We’re both doing cookie dough posts today, Megan! Honestly, I try not to procrastinate because I hate it so much. But there are times I’m up against deadlines and I hate the way that feels. I’d much rather be making (and eating!) these!
The Emotional Baker says
Great minds think alike π & I have to start getting more work done in advance – my stress levels would significantly decrease. Thanks Mir!
annie@ciaochowbambina says
I hear you! I have to admit – I was much better in my younger day too, however, I’m pretty certain that not even then did I do my homework on Friday night! Kudos to you for that and for these stuffed Oreos! OH MY!!!!
The Emotional Baker says
ha ha! Thanks Annie π
Rahul @samosastreet.com says
I love Oreos and these sound wonderful! Gorgeous photos too!
The Emotional Baker says
Thanks so much, Rahul π
Shashi @ RunninSrilankan says
I wish I was more like the younger me too, Megan! The younger me was much like the younger you, but me these days, well, I procrastinate so much – at times I even resort to procratibaking or procrasticooking – so I can wait till the last minute to do the picture taking and post writing! Though, if I had these and waited till later – I don’t think I’d have any left to photograph! I saw these on IG and had to come over to say HI!
The Emotional Baker says
I made sure to photograph these right away π Thanks Shashi!
Eva @ Eva Bakes says
I’d love to go to town with a spoon and a tubful of that cookie dough filling!!
The Emotional Baker says
Oh yes! That would be sooo good π Thanks Eva!
Ashley@CookNourishBliss says
Oh what I would do for one of these for a snack right now!! haha They sound fantastic!
I think I fall somewhere in the middle – I am definitely a huge advance planner but I also still do things right up until they are due!!
The Emotional Baker says
Thanks Ashley! Middle of the ground’s the way to go π
Marcie says
These are so fun, Megan, and I’d have trouble walking away from them! Love the sprinkles too!
The Emotional Baker says
I know what you mean π Thanks Marcie!

Ya, me too, girl, me too π Thanks Luci!
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
I sometimes procrastinate… it depends on what the task is. Going to the doctor? I’ll put that off until I absolutely must… and then I’ll still wait for a miracle. Lol. I’m pretty good about blog posts, most of the time. π So glad you finally decided to share this, because these decadent sammies look amazing!! I could eat the cashew butter cookie dough by the spoonful! But, shoved into some oreos and adorned with sprinkles sounds epic!! These look dangerously delicious, girlfriend! Cheers!
The Emotional Baker says
Yea, it depends on the task for me, too. But these cookies could be good motivation π Thanks Cheyanne!
Jess @ Sweetest Menu says
Oooh yes! I made cookie dough Oreos recently do – how heavenly are they?! Best treat ever! I love your addition of sprinkles!
The Emotional Baker says
They are soo good! Thanks Jess π
David @ Spiced says
If procrastinating leads to this kind of deliciousness, then I never want to be on time again! Hah! In all seriousness, though, I do work ahead. It’s always been my style. I like to do the whole work before play thing because then play is more fun. But different strokes for different folks. What is the same everywhere however is how delicious these stuffed Oreos look! I’m gonna be thinking about these bad boys all day now…
The Emotional Baker says
Ha ha! Thanks David π I have to work ahead more often!
Amanda says
Holy cow. I want to pull down the blinds and stick about ten of these in my face. I haven’t seen anything this wonderfully indulgent in a while. Wow!
The Emotional Baker says
You’re too funny, Amanda! I’ll join you π Thanks!
Katie @The Semisweet Sisters says
This combo looks incredible Megan! I love the touch of sprinkles too, sprinkles make me happy. π I like to get things done ahead of time but that doesn’t always happen…
The Emotional Baker says
Sprinkles are the best! Thanks Katie π

Oh I am SO much an “in advance” kind of person. I have blog posts planned for up until baby arrives! I just had to! In other news… These cookies look amazing. Triple amazing!
The Emotional Baker says
Thanks Lynn! I try to plan in advance, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen :/

Wow! These are so fun! Love how fully loaded they are! I used to be a big planner and still kind of am but some days, I can definitely fall behind when something unexpected happens with the kiddos.
The Emotional Baker says
Thanks Kelly! & I understand having both planned and unplanned days π
