Ingredient Notes
- All Purpose Flour
- Granulated Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Oreo Cookies - I use the classic Oreo's for this recipe but you can use Double stuff if you want them sweeter. You can also use any chocolate sandwich cookie of your choice.
- Baking Soda
- Salt - a touch of salt balances the sweetness of the Oreos.
- Unsalted Butter - if you only have salted butter on hand just omit the salt. Do not substitute with margarine as it will behave differently in the recipe and you will lose the delicious butter flavor.
- Eggs - you will need eggs for the biscotti dough and an egg white as an eggwash for the cookies when baking.
- White and Dark Belgian Chocolate- dipping these biscotti in semi-sweet chocolate or white chocolate after baking perfectly finishes them with another layer of sweetness and flavor.
How to Make Oreo Biscotti

- Add the chopped Oreos to the dough.
- Fold in the Oreos to combine evenly in the dough.
- Form dough into logs.
- Brush with egg whites.

- parchment paper
- Cutting Board

Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo Cookies about 12-14 cookies
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon water
- Melted white or dark chocolate for optional dipping or drizzling. Extra Oreo crumbs for garnish if desired.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment on medium speed to combine the butter and sugar until it becomes fluffy.
- Then, mix in the eggs and vanilla on medium-low speed until everything is combined.
- Gradually add in the flour, baking powder, and salt on low speed until a dough forms.
- Next, use a silicone spatula to mix in the crushed Oreos until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and then divide the dough into 2 logs with lightly floured hands, each about 12 inches long. Place the logs on the cookie sheet lengthwise, a couple of inches apart.
- Whisk together the egg white and water in a small bowl, and then generously brush the logs with the mixture.
- Bake for 35 minutes, and once done, remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
- After the biscotti has cooled down, move it onto a cutting board and cut each log evenly into 12 pieces at an angle. Then, transfer the biscotti back onto the baking sheet and bake it again at 300 degrees for 30 minutes until the cookies become dry in texture.
- Once done, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool.
- After cooling, melt white and/or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, and dip the biscotti into the chocolate.
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, and garnish with more Oreo crumbs before letting them set. You can enjoy the biscotti by dipping them into your favorite hot beverage or milk.
