MATCHA OREO COOKIES
As Halloween approaches, nothing screams festive indulgence like a batch of thick, soft Matcha Oreo Cookies with a gooey marshmallow center. Whether you're planning a spooky-themed party or just looking for a cozy evening treat, these cookies are the ultimate fusion of Asian flavors and classic cookies. The subtle earthiness of matcha pairs beautifully with the rich chocolatey crunch of Oreo pieces, and with the added surprise of a gooey marshmallow center, these cookies will delight everyone, from family to friends. Plus, their vibrant green hue makes them perfect for Halloween celebrations!
Key Ingredients:
- Matcha Powder: The star ingredient that gives these cookies their distinct green color and delicate flavor. Matcha, a finely ground green tea powder, adds not only an earthy taste but also provides a boost of antioxidants.
- Oreo Cookies: These classic chocolate sandwich cookies bring a crunchy texture that perfectly contrasts the softness of the cookie dough.
- Marshmallows: Hidden inside each cookie, the marshmallow center melts into a gooey, soft filling that oozes out when you bite into it.
- Butter: Provides richness and ensures the cookies stay soft and tender.
- Flour, Eggs, and Sugar: Classic baking staples to bind everything together and give structure to your cookies.
Substitutions:
- Matcha Powder: If you don't have matcha on hand, you can swap it for cocoa powder to create chocolate Oreo cookies. While the flavor profile changes, you'll still have a delicious treat!
- Oreo Cookies: For a fun twist, try using flavored Oreos, such as Golden Oreos or Halloween-themed Oreos, to add more seasonal flair.
- Marshmallows: Vegan marshmallows can be used for a dairy-free option, and if you prefer a chocolate-filled center, substitute the marshmallows with small pieces of chocolate or Nutella.
- Butter: Coconut oil is a great alternative if you're looking for a dairy-free option. It will add a slight coconut flavor but still maintain the softness of the cookie.
Conclusion:
These Matcha Oreo Cookies with a gooey marshmallow center are the perfect treat for Halloween or any fall event. They're easy to make, visually stunning, and packed with flavor. Whether you're baking for a party, family night, or just want to indulge in something sweet, these cookies will not disappoint.

The subtle earthiness of matcha pairs beautifully with the rich chocolatey crunch of Oreo pieces, and with the added surprise of a gooey marshmallow center, these Matcha Oreo cookies will delight everyone, from family to friends.
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp matcha powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg (large)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 drops green food coloring (optional)
- 8 Oreo cookies (roughly chopped)
- 6 marshmallows (large)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
Take two spoonfuls of dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a marshmallow in the center and wrap the dough around it, ensuring the marshmallow is almost covered completely. Repeat with the remaining dough and marshmallows.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. This step ensures the cookies stay thick and don't spread too much while baking
Top the cookies with extra Oreo cookies or marshmallows and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden, but the centers are still soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience!
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For an extra gooey center, pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds before eating.
- Make Ahead: You can make the dough ahead of time and freeze it for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, just thaw in the refrigerator and bake as directed.
