These cookies are very good! I am an avid baker, but I am also an oreo lover. So a from-scratch cookie recipe that uses oreos is right up my alley. I put the cookies in a bag and broke them with my hands. I left the pieces pretty large -- I broke each cookie into about 4 or 5 pieces. I like oreos to be really big and recognizable when I use them in recipes (like homemade ice cream brownies and cakes). I made the cookies pretty large. Ended up with about 28 or 30. When you make them large, flatten out the dough a bit rather than making them into round balls. You don't want them to be too flat, just not round. The refrigeration step is important since the dough it kind of sticky. The cookie dough isn't the same as a chocolate chip cookie dough. it is a cross between a sugar cookie and a chocolate chip cookie. My cookies didn't come out hard at all. they were fairly soft.

I followed the recipe exactly to try and avoid a flop, but they didn't turn out. These cookies are way too greasy and flat. I threw away half of the dough. Mine did not turn out hard like some of the other reviews state, but these just aren't good. I was excited to try these because I thought they sounded great, but something needs to be adjusted in the recipe. Sorry, Adam.

Okay, I read all the reviews, and I made some alterations to the recipe. The cookies turned out great. I used 1/2 cup butter plus 2 TBS, and I used the peanut butter filled Oreos. These were good, but I could just add oreo crumbs to my standard chocolate chip recipe and still have wonderful results.

These were okay, but I agree with those that said they were too buttery. I used 3/4 cup of butter, and the cookies came out really salty and a little too greasy for my liking.

These actually tasted pretty good... For those of you who are hesitant to make these because of appearance, I would suggest dipping them in chocolate. It not only makes them look nicer, it adds an extra kick of flavor to a sugar-cookie-like recipe. Depending on how much chocolate coating you want, mix a tablespoon of shortening with every 9 ounces of semisweet chocolate you use, melt in a double boiler, dip cookies, and place on a cooling rack over aluminum foil to catch drips. Let the chocolate harden completely!! Yum!

I love to bake cookies and was interested in the cookies but I am an Oreo freak. I have made the cookies twice & was disappointed both times. The cookies were soft & chewy, but spread way too much during baking (you really don't need to grease the baking sheets because the cookie contains so much butter). Thinking the dough hadn't been refrigerated long enough, I refrigerated the 2nd batch for 4 hours & still had the same problem. The cookies taste OK (sugar cookies) & I do like the "dirty" appearance.

Our baking group made these cookies last week and we fell in love with them. They were easy to make and fun to see when they were done. We used them to give to the staff and they just swooned over them. Thanks again!

These cookies were easy enough to make. They tasted okay, but my husband wouldn't touch them because of how they looked. I guess looks do count!

OPPPS, i made a mistake when I made these cookies. I used chocolate graham cracker crumbs. They worked like a charm. Great recipe. Maybe the next time I will get it right!! Thanks Adam

Good, sugar cookie consistency. I used chocolate creme oreos so they did not look like dirt rather sugar cookies with chocolate mixed in.

I didn't read the reviews first, just went ahead and made. I used crushed cookie crumbs instead of the creme filled cookies and my entire family loved them, even the dough! I would be concerned that the filled cookies would make the cookie far to sweet.

Well, Adam, I read all the reviews and paid close attention to your advice. Yet I have to say that I was rather disappointed. I followed all your tips, but found them to be too hard, too much butter, and just tasted like a sugar cookie. I probably would make them again just for the novelty - perhaps for Halloween or something.

Thanks to everyone for the nice reviews! Personally, I love the cookies and think they are great fun and tasty! For those who are getting hard cookies, please don't overmix, remember to chill the dough a bit (so it doesn't spread too much) and check your oven temperature. It bums me out to get negative reviews on a recipe so many of us love.

These cookies are good except I think that 2 sticks of butter was a little much. I would cut that down a little next time. Otherwise they are good.

I haven't made this one yet but while reading the reviews I noticed some turned out "hard" and "crunchy". I have found that over mixing will do that too your cookies...mix until just blended together.
