Ingredients You’ll Need

12 Double Stuffed Oreos: These provide the foundational flavor and richness to our cookies. Feel free to use regular Oreos if you prefer less filling.
½ cup Chocolate Chips, Melted: These add a delicious chocolate coating. Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.

How to Make Oreo Witch Hat Cookies

Prepare Your Workspace: Lay down parchment paper on the counter to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier. Then, set out your Oreos at a comfortable working space.
Melt the Chocolate: Place ½ cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is smooth and creamy in texture. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave’s strength.
Dip the Oreos: Dunk one side of a Double Stuffed Oreo into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the cookie on the parchment paper.
Add the Hershey Kiss: Unwrap a Hershey Kiss and gently press it into the center of the wet chocolate on top of the Oreo. The chocolate helps it adhere and creates the perfect witch hat shape.
Sprinkle Festively: While the chocolate is still wet, generously sprinkle Halloween sprinkles around the edge of the Oreo to cover the melted chocolate. This adds color and makes each cookie look festive and fun!

Once you’ve completed these steps, the cookies can set for a few minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Storing & Reheating

To store Oreo Witch Hat Cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you prefer to refrigerate them, they can last up to two weeks, but they may lose some crispness. For longer storage, consider freezing them; they’ll last well in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply let them thaw at room temperature. The flavors will still be delicious, though the texture may slightly soften.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Always melt your chocolate in small intervals to prevent burning. Stirring is key to achieving a smooth consistency.
Experiment with different toppings for your cookies; consider adding nuts, or even switching up the sprinkles to suit different occasions.
If the chocolate hardens too quickly while you’re working, pop it back into the microwave for a few seconds to soften again.
Make extra cookies for sharing with neighbors or for school treats—they’re sure to be a hit!

These Witch Hat Cookies are easily customizable, so don’t hesitate to have fun with them!

Halloween will be here before you know it, so get your baking supplies ready!
