Thaw in the fridge overnight or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying.

WHY ARE MY COOKIES NOT SPREADING?

If your cookies aren’t spread, you might’ve added too much flour. Make sure to measure your flour properly to keep them from not spreading.

Use the scoop and level method or a kitchen scale preferably.

HELP, MY COOKIES ARE SPREADING TOO MUCH!

This recipe is made with regular Oreos so make sure not to use double Stuff Oreos. The extra filling in the cookie will mix with the cookie dough and make the cookies spread too much.

You sure can! They are large and in charge, perfect for holding together your favorite ice cream in the center. My tip would be to underbake them a little if you are trying to make ice cream sandwiches with them to keep them soft and chewy.
