Easy Oreo Cookie Blondie Bars

Looking for a new recipe to satisfy your sweet tooth? Try these Oreo Cookie Blondies. They’re easier to make than cookies, they make a big batch, and they freeze well, too. Plus, everyone loves them!

It’s not uncommon for our family to enjoy a cookie for a sweet treat after a meal, for school snacks, or almost any time of day. Thankfully, I enjoy baking cookies! However, cookie bars are my preferred way to whip up a bunch of “cookies” in very little time and with very little mess.

Just one bowl, one pan, a spatula, and maybe a measuring cup — that’s it!

I have links to several yummy Cookie Bar recipes at the end of this post, but one of our favorites is this easy and delicious recipe for Soft and Chewy Oreo Cookie Blondies.

These bars are SO quick and easy to make and everyone loves them.

They are a “sturdy” bar — so they freeze well and are perfect for school lunches as they hold up well in backpacks.

You will Love Oreo Blondies if…

• you like Oreos
• you like chewy chocolate chip cookies
• you like any type of chocolatey dessert
• you aren’t counting calories
• you like baking big batches of goodies that will last more than 1 day

Also, let me warn you that if you bring these to a party or potluck, you’ll want to stash a few away at home first because you’ll likely come home with an empty platter.

Ingredients for Oreo Blondies

• 1 c. butter (2 sticks)
• 1 c. brown sugar
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 t. vanilla
• 1 package (4 servings) dry instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 c. flour (all-purpose and freshly milled whole grain work well)
• 1 t. salt
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1/2 t. baking powder
• 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 c. white chocolate chips
• 12 Oreo cookies; chopped (this is a fantastic use for stale or off-brand cookies)

Ingredient Substitutions

There are so many ways to mix up this recipe (pun intended!) based on what ingredients you have on hand.

Butter – feel free to swap margarine or even coconut oil if that’s all you have

Sugars – you’ll want to use some type of “granular” sugar for at least half of what the recipe calls for. You can try subbing honey or maple syrup for the other half, but it will take longer to bake and won’t have exactly the same flavor.

Eggs – if you’re allergic, you can use an egg substitute.

Pudding Mix – Try coconut, French vanilla, Oreo, or even chocolate flavored pudding mixes. I do think the pudding mix adds a lot to the finished product, so I wouldn’t skip it.

Salt – we love Redmond Real Salt for all our baking (the fine grain)

Chocolate Chips – oddly enough, it’s been difficult to find white chocolate chips in our stores lately. If you can’t find them, feel free to omit or add double the chocolate chips. You could also try butterscotch or peanut butter chips.

Oreos – these bars are a great way to use up extra bits of cookies that might be going stale in the back of your pantry. Any type of crushed cookie could work — chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, or whatever you have in the house. I also rarely spend the money on brand-name cookies for this recipe. I usually use the off-brand “chocolate sandwich cookies” from Aldi.

How to Make Oreo Blondies

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.

2. Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking pan and set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars.

4. Add in egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined.

5. Add in dry pudding mix and cream for 1 minute.

6. Add in flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until just combined.

7. Stir in chips and chopped Oreos.

8. Press batter into prepared pan (it will be very thick), and bake in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes.

9. Let cool completely.

10. Cut into bars, eat, and enjoy!

These bars practically melt in your mouth — probably because of all the butter!

They are quite rich, so we cut our bars very small (35 bars from one 9″ x 13″ pan). It helps them last a little longer, and saves a few calories too!

As with almost all my baked good recipes, these bars freeze amazingly well and are still super soft and chewy after months in the freezer (start stashing some away for all those school lunches!)
