If you are a cookie fanatic like we are, this is a fun recipe where you get two cookies in every bite! Smooshed Oreos are fun to use in many recipes, but I haven't tried adding them to cookie batter yet. After trying it, I know I will be making these gluten free cookies and cream cookies often.
You may love these gluten free cookie recipes while you are here too!
Why These Cookies Are Great:
- They are filled with crushed Oreos in every bite!
- These cookies are slightly crisp yet soft on the insides.
- Your kids will love them, so make a double batch.
- Freeze them so you have these cookies on hand whenever you crave a cookie!
This is one of my favorite gluten-free flour blends for cookies, cakes, pie crust, biscuits, and muffins! (Do not use this flour blend for yeast recipes.)
Ingredient Notes:
- Gluten free flour blend - I tested this recipe using Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend, Pillsbury Gluten Free Flour Blend and King Arthur's Measure for Measure Gluten Free Blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours, and I can not guarantee the recipe will work if you use other mixes.
- Xanthan Gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
- Oreos - Use gluten free Oreos brand or one of the copycat Oreo cookie brands listed below.
- Brown Sugar - Check to be sure brown sugar is gluten free.
- Butter - I recommend unsalted room temperature or partially melted butter.
- Baking Powder - Use aluminum-free baking powder. It makes a huge difference in flavor.
- Salt - You can use either sea salt, as I did, or kosher salt.
- Eggs - Size large.
- Vanilla Extract - Use pure vanilla extract if you can. Imitation vanilla will also work in this recipe.
Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:
Step 1: In a medium bowl, add your gluten free Oreos. You can use either the regular or the double-stuff cookies, depending on how much cream filling you want in these cookies and cream cookies.
It is important not to use too much or too little gluten free flour. I recommend measuring your flour with one of these two methods:
Spoon Method: You can also use a spoon to fill the measuring cup. Use a knife to level along the top to remove the extra flour.
Leveling Method: Put the measuring scoop into the flour and fill. Do not pack the flour. Use a knife to scrape along the top to remove the extra flour.
Step 2: Use a pastry cutter to chop the cookies into various sizes. You can also place the cookies in a zipper bag and crush them with a rolling pin. A food processor can also work, but BE CAREFUL NOT to over-mix and turn the cookies into a paste.
Step 3: In a small bowl, add the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix the wet ingredients together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Scrape the sides of the bowl to get all of the liquid out of the bowl.
Step 4: Mix the ingredients together into a soft cookie dough but somewhat firm in texture.
Step 5: Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out uniformly sized dough balls. Place the dough balls onto a prepared
Step 6: Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies. Remove the cookies from the oven to a wire rack for cooling.
Gluten Free Oreo Substitutions:
Although Oreo made a splash when they released the gluten free regular and double stuff Oreos, other companies also make delicious versions of this famous cookie!

Tips and Recipe FAQ:
You can store these cookies in an air-tight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

You can easily make these cream cookies dairy-free by using dairy-free butter. Gluten Free Oreos are dairy-free.
I have not tested making these cookies with an egg replacer like flax eggs or chia eggs. If you try this, please come back and leave a comment to let me know how they turned out.

I tried these with the new GF mint Oreos and they were a huge hit at my super bowl party! Everyone commented on how good they were.

I love the idea of using the new GF Mint Oreos. I am going to try this next!
Debby Luck-Baker
I’m not sure how it can be gluten free with Oreo cookies in it ?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Debby, I am guessing you only read the title and not my post and recipe. The Oreo company now sells gluten free Oreos! Both regular and double stuff. I also discuss many copycat brands like Glutino Oreos etc in the post.
