Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
Refrigerated pie crust or puff pastry – Provides a buttery, flaky shell for the hand pies.
Oreos (crushed) – The star filling ingredient, bringing rich chocolate flavor.
Cream cheese – Makes the filling smooth, creamy, and tangy.
Powdered sugar – Sweetens the filling and balances flavors.
Cocoa powder – Deepens the chocolate flavor.
Chocolate chips – Melted inside for extra gooeyness.
Egg (for egg wash) – Helps the crust bake golden and shiny.
Milk or cream – Used to thin the glaze or drizzle.
Optional toppings – Melted chocolate, powdered sugar, or Oreo crumbs.
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, crushed Oreos, and a handful of chocolate chips. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Roll out pie crust or puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut into circles or rectangles using a cookie cutter or knife. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each piece, then top with another piece of dough. Seal edges with a fork.
Brush tops with beaten egg for shine. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Let cool slightly.
Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate or glaze, and sprinkle with crushed Oreos before serving.
