Add butter to a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat stirring constantly for 7-10 minutes until the butter starts to brown. Scrape any brown bits off the bottom. Remove butter from the heat before it burns, you want it to have a dark amber color and nutty smell.
1 cup Unsalted Butter
Add browned butter to a large mixing bowl, let cool down for a few minutes. Add in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
Mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the sprinkles. Cover and let chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. After chilling, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Using a measuring spoon or a cookie scoop, scoop out even amounts of dough, about 2.5 ounces per cookie. Flatten the dough out in your palm, place one Oreo cookie in the center of the dough and wrap the dough around the Oreo, covering it completely. Form into a ball and place onto prepared baking sheets spacing about 3" apart. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
16 Golden Oreo cookies
Bake for 9-11 minutes until slightly golden brown, the cookies will still be soft. Allow to cool 3-5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
*Any flavor of Oreo can be used.*Chill the cookie dough for 20 minutes so it sets up slightly but not any longer of it will be tough to mold around the Oreo cookies.*To get perfectly round cookies, gently scoot the cookies with a round cookie cutter right after baking while still warm.
