Okay, so I’ve been seeing these “Dirty Dough” cookies all over my feed lately, and they look absolutely insane. I had to try making them myself, figured it couldn’t be THAT hard, right? Turns out, it’s a bit of a process, but totally worth it.
First off, I hunted down some recipes online. I found a bunch of different ones, but they all seemed pretty similar. Most of them were basically just regular cookie recipes with a ton of extra stuff mixed in. I needed to start with the dough, and I decided to go with a no-fail pizza dough recipe I found because it is my favorite one. If you want an easy baking, this is your best choice.
I grabbed my trusty mixer and got to work. The dough itself was pretty straightforward – flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, the usual suspects. I combined all the ingredients step by step, and I made the beautiful dough finally.
Here’s where things got interesting. These Dirty Dough cookies are all about the fillings and mix-ins. I’m talking about layers of different flavors and textures all crammed into one cookie. It’s wild.
-
Chocolate Chip Base: I took my basic dough and added a generous amount of chocolate chips. This was my foundation, my canvas, if you will.
-
Peanut Butter Layer: I spread a thick layer of creamy peanut butter on top of the chocolate chip dough. This was getting messy, but I was committed.
-
Oreo Crumble: Next, I crushed up a bunch of Oreo cookies and sprinkled them over the peanut butter. Because why not, right?
-
Caramel Drizzle: I melted some caramels and drizzled them all over the top. It was looking like a beautiful, delicious mess.
-
Bake it up: I popped these bad boys in the oven and crossed my fingers. The smell was amazing, like a bakery exploded in my kitchen.
Steps I tried
When they came out, they were golden brown and gooey, and honestly, a little intimidating. They looked like something you’d see on one of those extreme baking shows.
Tasting time! These cookies were seriously intense. Every bite was a mix of chocolate, peanut butter, caramel, and crunchy Oreos. It was an overload of sweetness, but in the best way possible. These things are definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you’re looking for a truly decadent treat, you gotta try them.
I’d say my first attempt at Dirty Dough copycat cookies was a success. It was a fun baking adventure, and the end result was definitely worth the effort. I’m already planning my next flavor combinations. Maybe something with brownie batter and marshmallow fluff? The possibilities are endless!
