Oreo Cookie Dough
- 3/4 cup unsalted cultured butter, cool room temperature (160 g)
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed (200 g)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature (110 g)
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature (20 g)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (280 g)
- 2 cups chopped Oreos (150 g)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Vanilla Frosting
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (84 g)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (120 g)
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch fine sea salt
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan. If using a cake pan, line the bottom with two long strips of parchment paper in an X shape, then place a parchment round on the bottom. For a springform pan, line only the bottom.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the unsalted cultured butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, scraping down the bowl between additions, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients and Oreos: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped Oreos gently, ensuring even distribution.
- Spread Dough and Bake: Use an offset spatula to spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool Cake: Remove from oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before removing to prevent breaking. If using a cake pan, use the parchment paper strips to lift the cake out, then peel off the parchment carefully.
- Make Vanilla Frosting: While the cake cools, beat the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until combined. Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, then beat on medium speed until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Decorate the Cake: Fill a pastry bag fitted with a star tip with the vanilla frosting. Pipe decorative swirls or patterns on top of the cooled cookie cake. Garnish with sprinkles or additional chopped Oreos as desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve the Oreo Cookie Cake fresh, enjoying the moist, chewy texture with the creamy frosting complementing the Oreo crunch.
Notes
- When measuring flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level off with a knife to avoid packing and ensure accurate measurement.
- Using cultured butter enhances the flavor of the cookie dough for a richer taste.
- For easier removal from a cake pan, use the parchment paper strips to lift the cake out without breaking it.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- This recipe can be doubled and baked in a larger pan or two pans for extra servings.
