MINT OREO CHIP COOKIES
Mint and chocolate is such a classic, delicious flavor combination for Dessert Recipes. From cookies and cakes to brownies and ice cream, mint chocolate makes everything taste good, especially during the holidays. This over-the-top Mint Chocolate Oreo Chip Cookie recipe is so good (and easy!), you’ll be finding any excuse to bake them.
Mint Oreo Chip Cookies are just as easy as to make as your favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies, with a few fun mix-ins you probably have on hand. The best part is you can adjust them to exactly how you like them. Not a fan of so much minty flavor? Cut back on the mint extract. Can’t get enough mint? Swap in mint Oreos and mint chocolate chips!

Tips for Mint Oreo Chip Cookies
- Line a light metal baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with baking spray to make sure that the cookies don’t stick. If you have one, use a muffin top pan for picture-perfect round cookies.
- Don’t over-mix the cookie dough. Heat is generated as you stir so stirring too much will melt the butter and give you flat, dense cookies.
- To keep from over-mixing, bring all your ingredients to room temperature. The butter should be softened but not melted, soft to the touch without any liquid.
- For the ultimate chocolate chip cookie sundae, serve one or two warm Mint Oreo Chip Cookies with Vanilla Ice Cream. Drizzle with Chocolate Ganache (add mint flavor to the ganache!), top with Whipped Cream, and sprinkle with chopped Andes mints.

VARIATIONS ON MINT OREO CHIP COOKIES
- Cookies: Use other Oreo cookie flavors like Mint Oreos, Peppermint Oreos, or Golden Oreos. Other hard sandwich cookies would also work in this cookie dough, or try Thin Mints for an extra special mint cookie!
- Mix-Ins: Reduce the Oreos to ½ cup (or swap the chocolate chips) and add another mix-in like M&Ms, chopped nuts, peppermint candies, or toffee bits to the cookie dough.
- Chocolate Chips: Swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks. For more mint chocolate flavor, use Andes mints, roughy chopped, mint baking chips, or peppermint crunch chips.
- Sour Cream: If you want the cookies a bit more tender, you can add ¼ cup sour cream to the batter, adding 2 tablespoons more flour to even out the moisture.
- Cake Mix: Substitute a box of white cake mix or fudge brownie mix for the dry ingredients in this Mint Oreo Chip Cookie recipe. No other adjustments are needed to use cake mix or brownie mix.

I made these cookies for my kiddos; they cannot get enough! They didn’t even last a night before they ate them up! The recipe was super easy to follow as well!
I love a good chocolate mint combo, and these cookies were amazing! I’ll be making them again for St. Patrick’s Day!
i’m an oreo fan and these mint oreo chip cookies delight me! They were easy to make and turned out so well. I am so satisfied and happy!
The sour cream isn’t listed in the recipe how much
The final recipe was adjusted without sour cream, but if you’d like to try it with, we tested 1/4 cup sour cream with 2 tablespoons additional flour. It’s a more tender cookie, but recipe testing without it scored better.
These look great! But I don’t see pudding listed in the ingredients. How much do you add?
Sorry the recipe doesn’t have pudding, it was a previous iteration I was testing. I fixed the post.
I don’t see instant pudding mix listed in the ingredients. Is that an ingredient needed for this recipe or is that for a different recipe?
The recipe card was corrected, no pudding mix is needed for these.
Yum! These are so good! I need to go buy more milk so I have enough to drink with all these delicious cookies!
The perfect combination!
These look great. I don’t see the pudding listed in the ingredients list or instructions.
Sorry for the confusion, no pudding mix in these, I worked on that recipe more to not include the mix.
Everyone at my house enjoyed these cookies!! Would be a great gift idea too!
Thanks for coming back to let me know, Toni.
These look so delicious and yummy! My daughter is going to love this recipe! Can’t wait to give this a try!
Enjoy!
Plz substitute for eggs
I’ve not tested this recipe using anything else but usually you can substitute eggs with applesauce or banana. If you decide to play around with it, I’d love to know what worked. Thanks!
