You'll need the following:2 1/4 Cups Flour1 Teaspoon Baking Soda1/2 Cup White Sugar1/2 Cup Brown Sugar1 Cup Unsalted Butter (two sticks softened)2 Eggs1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract1 Package of Jello Oreo Cookies and Cream Pudding Mix1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips1 Bag of Mini OreosBlack Gel IcingPreheat your oven to 350F.Recipe adapted from Six Sister's Stuff.
Combine your flour and baking soda in a small mixing bowl. Whisk together until thoroughly combined. Set aside until after your wet ingredients are mixed. If you haven't done so already, preheat your oven to 350F.
Add your brown and white sugar to your softened butter in a large mixing bowl. You'll want a large mixing bowl because you'll be adding your dry ingredients to this mixture in a later step.Mix together with an electric mixer until uniformly combined and creamy.
Once you've creamed your butter and sugars add your eggs, vanilla extract, and jello pudding mix. Blend on medium speed with your electric mixer until evenly mixed.
There's something extra delightful about a cookie with a few extra chunks and this is the step where that magic happens. Pull a few (10-26) Oreos aside. These will be for your eyes later. Take the rest of the mini oreos and crush them. I did this by placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling the back of a metal spoon over the cookies. Add 1 cup of crushed oreos and 1 cup of chocolate chips to your cookie dough. Fold evenly into your dough.
Roll tablespoon sized chunks of dough in your palms. Space evenly on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in your oven for 8-10 minutes at 350F. I ended up baking for just 8 minutes which resulted in a chewy, moist cookie with a golden brown bottom. I wanted to have them a little chewy so that I could insert the mini oreos easily.Once baked, let your cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes.
While your cookies are cooling, start separating your oreos. It's that same classic method from yoru childhood days. Grasping the cookie on either side of the oreo with your two hands, rotate your hands in opposing directions, twisting the cookies apart. Keep the side that has the majority of the cream. These are your eyeballs.
Gently place your mini oreos into your warm cookies. Press firmly enough that they lodge in the cookie dough. Add one and make your cookie a cyclops or multiple to give it a monstrous look.
Create pupils on your eyeball(s) using your gel icing. I chose to use standard black icing here, but you can definitely and easily get creative. Use red to create a bloodshot eye look or green and blue to create a more natural eye color detail.
You're done! Eat up and share your new cookies 'n cream eyeball cookies with friends and family or set out for a halloween party.
