Ingredients
  

Oreo Drop Cookies

  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter softened
  • ½ cup Light Brown Sugar packed
  • 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1½ teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup + 6 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • ¼ cup Black Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Oreo Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter softened
  • 3 tablespoons Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 8 Double-Stuffed Oreo Cookies

Topping

  • 2-3 Finely-Crushed Oreo Cookie Wafers filling removed
  • Halloween Tombstone Sprinkles
  • Bone Sprinkles

Instructions
 

Oreo Drop Cookies

  • In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Beat in egg and vanilla until fully combined.
  • Add flour, black cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
  • Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop, add mounds of dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. Chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the baking sheet directly from the fridge into the oven. Bake 10-12 minutes, until edges are set, but centers still look slightly underbaked. Cool on pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Oreo Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Separate the filling and wafers from 8 Oreos. Add the cream filling to the mixing bowl.
  • Crush the Oreo cookie wafers in a food processor until fine crumbs. Set aside.
  • Beat butter and cream cheese with the Oreo filling until fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add vanilla, then powdered sugar, Oreo crumbs, and salt. Beat until fluffy again.
  • Once cookies are fully cool, use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop or a spoon to add a dollop of frosting to the top of each cookie.

Topping

  • Sprinkle crushed Oreo crumbs over frosting to look like dirt, pressing lightly. Press a tombstone and bone sprinkles into the crumbs while the frosting is still soft.
