Wow! Talk about rich and chocolatey…these bars have double the chocolate with dark chocolate chips and crumbled Oreo cookies mixed in. And the creamy Oreo filling gives a great taste to these bars since some of it bakes into to batter. I like using the Double Stuff Oreos because I love all that filling! 🙂

I was inspired by a yummy-looking recipe from Can’t Stay Out of the Kitchen–I decided to make bars instead of cookies to save time. I also used dark chocolate chips and added even more chips to the batter, so these are super-chocolatey!

DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP OREO COOKIE BARS adapted from Can’t Stay Out of the Kitchen

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag dark chocolate chips
  • 20 Oreo Double Stuff Cookies (from a 15.35 ounce package), broken or crushed into medium to small pieces (I put the cookies in a large zip loc freezer bag and crush the cookies–you can use a rolling pin to do this, or even a hammer, used very gently)

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease a 9 x 13″ pan or line with parchment paper; set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until well blended. Add in eggs and vanilla, blending well.

In a small bowl, blend flour, salt, and baking soda; add these dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture and mix everything well.

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies; mix until these are evenly distributed in the batter (the batter will be thick!).

Spoon batter into prepared 9 x 13″ pan and spread batter evenly in pan with a spatula or the back of a large spoon. Bake at 350˚F for 25 to 27 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely in pan, then cut into bars or squares. These are very rich, so you can cut them small if you want!

Oreo cookies have been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. They’re certainly not healthy, but every once in awhile I crave some. Are you an Oreo-lover too?
