Get ready to indulge in these delicious treats with no eggs or dairy required as we take a look at the scrumptious ingredients for these mouth-watering cookies!

First up, we’ve got vegan butter. This ingredient is essential for creating that perfect cookie texture. It’s important to use unsalted vegan butter at room temperature to ensure that it creams well with the sugar.

Next on the list are homemade Oreos! Don’t worry if you don’t have any on hand; store-bought Oreos will work too. The cream filling can be scraped out and set aside for later use in this recipe or another dessert.

Crush the chocolate cookies into fine pieces and mix them into the dough along with some chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor.

Finally, we will need oat flour, which can easily be made by blending old-fashioned oats until they reach a fine powder consistency. Using gluten-free oat flour ensures that these cookies are safe for those who follow a gluten-free diet while still maintaining their chewy texture!

Instructions

  1. To make these delicious treats, first whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, I use an electric mixer to cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Then I take a large bowl and fold in the dry mix until a dough forms before carefully adding in crushed Oreos and chocolate chips for added flavor.
  4. Once everything is evenly distributed, I chill the cookie dough balls for 30 minutes to prevent spreading while baking.
  5. Next, I preheat my oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Using about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie for regular-sized cookies or 3 tablespoons of dough for larger ones
  7. I roll them into balls before placing them on the prepared sheet about two inches apart.
  8. After baking for 10–16 minutes, depending on size preference, until lightly golden around the edges and set in the middle (but still soft), I gently press more crushed Oreos into each cookie along with extra chocolate chips if desired.
  9. Finally, let them cool on the baking sheet for ten minutes before transferring them to an airtight container, where they can be stored at room temperature for up to four days or frozen for later enjoyment!

Tips and tricks

You’re going to want to pay close attention to these helpful tips and tricks for making the most delicious, chewy, and flavor-packed chocolate chip cookies ever! I’ve learned a few things that can help take your cookies from good to great. Here are some of my top tips:

Use sustainable palm oil-free Oreos: If you want to ensure that your homemade Oreo cookies are completely animal-free, be sure to use gluten-free Oreos that don’t contain any animal-derived ingredients. There are plenty of options on the market now that utilize sustainable palm oil instead of traditional palm oil.

Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial to preventing your cookies from flattening too much while baking. By chilling the dough before scooping it onto your baking sheets, you give it time to firm up and hold its shape better during baking.

These tips may seem small, but they can make all the difference when it comes to achieving perfect results with your homemade Oreo cookies.

So go ahead and give them a try—you won’t be disappointed!

Substitutions

If you’re looking to switch things up, there are plenty of ways to make substitutions and put your own spin on these tasty treats.

For those who follow a strict vegan diet, plant-based cookies and cream cookies can be used instead of Oreos. Additionally, gluten-free Oreos can be found in some stores or online for those with gluten sensitivities.

For those who want to avoid animal products altogether, unsalted vegan butter can easily replace traditional butter. And for those concerned about the use of dairy products in chocolate chips, Pascha Organics’ vegan white chocolate chips or chunks are recommended.

It’s also important to note that Oreos themselves may contain trace amounts of milk due to manufacturing processes, so those with severe dairy allergies should proceed with caution. Finally, if you’re interested in sustainable palm oil options, look for brands like Newman’s Own that use RSPO-certified palm oil in their products.

Here are five reasons why you should give this recipe a try:

Vegan oreos are simply perfect for those who want a vegan and dairy-free dessert.

can be easily adapted for gluten-free diets.

requires only simple ingredients that can be found at most grocery stores.

easy-to-follow instructions, making it perfect for beginner bakers.

highly rated by other bakers who have tried it out.

Serving

Let them cool down on a cooling rack for ten minutes.

Now that we know how well-received this vegan Oreo cookie recipe is, let’s talk about serving sizes. One medium cookie contains 366 calories, making it a sweet indulgence for those who love dessert.

However, this recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free, so everyone can enjoy these cookies guilt-free! One thing to keep in mind when serving these cookies is to make sure they are stored properly.

They can last up to four days at room temperature in an airtight container or up to a month in the freezer. These homemade cookies are perfect for sharing with friends and family during get-togethers or as gifts on special occasions.

The fact that you can use either gluten-free Oreos or regular ones with all-purpose flour makes them versatile enough for any occasion.

Storage

To keep your freshly baked, chewy, and soft vegan Oreo chocolate chip cookies at their best, storage is key. After all the hard work put into making this gluten-free cookie recipe, it’s important to ensure that they remain fresh and delicious for as long as possible.

I recommend storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days or in the freezer for a month. Imagine opening the container and being greeted by the sweet aroma of Oreos and chocolate chips!

Here are some additional tips on how to store these cookies:

When putting them in an airtight container, make sure there is no extra air inside the container since extra air can cause them to dry out.

If you’re freezing them, place a sheet of parchment paper between each layer of cookies so that they don’t stick together.

If you’re storing these gluten-free Oreos with all-purpose flour instead of gluten-free baking flour, they will last slightly longer due to all-purpose flour having more preservatives.

For best results, follow these simple steps when storing your homemade vegan Oreo chocolate chip cookies: You can enjoy every bite just as much as when they were first baked!

Additional Information

These chocolate chips are made with organic ingredients and are free from dairy, soy, nuts, and gluten. Using these chocolate chips in this homemade vegan Oreo cookie recipe will add a rich creaminess that will perfectly complement the flavor of the Oreos and make these cookies even more irresistible.

Decorating Ideas

Looking to add some extra pizzazz to your freshly baked cookies? As someone who’s experimented with this recipe myself, I can confidently say that the possibilities for decorating these vegan Oreo chocolate chip cookies are endless.

Crush additional Oreos and sprinkle them on top of the cookies, along with a generous amount of chocolate chips, for a pop of color and flavor. If you’re feeling fancy, try rolling small cookie dough balls in additional Oreo crumbs before baking for an added crunch.

For those on a gluten-free or vegan diet, decorating these cookies can be just as fun and delicious as it is for anyone else. Try using different colored sprinkles or plant-based food coloring to make them festive for any occasion.

Another idea is dipping half of each cookie into melted dairy-free white chocolate chips (like Pascha Organics) before adding more crushed Oreos on top. These gluten-free vegan Oreo chocolate chip cookies are not only easy to make but also super customizable, so let your creativity run wild!
