FAQs
Can I use natural peanut butter for these cookies?
Yes, but natural peanut butter may change the texture slightly as it contains more oil. Stir well before using and consider chilling the dough before baking.
Do I have to wrap the Oreos completely with dough?
For best results, covering the Oreos fully prevents melting and keeps the cookie shape intact while baking.

Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Filling
- About 24 Oreo cookies (regular size)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 large egg. Mix thoroughly until a smooth and sticky dough forms.
- Wrap the Oreos: Take a small portion of the peanut butter dough and flatten it in your hand. Place one whole Oreo cookie in the center, then wrap the dough around it completely, sealing the Oreo inside. Repeat this process with all Oreos.
- Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the dough-wrapped Oreos on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the peanut butter dough is set and lightly golden around the edges.

Notes
- For a less sweet version, reduce the sugar to ¾ cup.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before wrapping the Oreos can make it easier to handle.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- If you prefer a crunchier cookie, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
