Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 10 Oreo cookies
- 1 & ¼ cups flour

- ¼ cup black cocoa
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar (dark or light)

- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips, melted
For the Whipped Cream:
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Cookies
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Grind the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and grind them until they are finely crushed.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreos, flour, cornstarch, black cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing well until fully combined.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough forms and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop the dough into 8 balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball to about 1 inch in thickness.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Immediately after removing them from the oven, use a small spoon or your thumb to indent the centers of the cookies, creating a shape similar to a pie crust. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- Mix Pudding: In a medium bowl, mix the instant chocolate pudding mix, milk, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is thick and well combined.
- Add Melted Chocolate: Fold in the melted semisweet chocolate chips until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Assemble the Cookies
- Fill the Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled, spoon the chocolate filling into the indented centers of each cookie.
Step 4: Prepare the Whipped Cream
- Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
- Top the Cookies: Top each filled cookie with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate curls or shavings if desired.
