Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cooled melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat until creamy and light, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients with the Oreo crumbs.
  5. Let the cookie dough rest for about 10 minutes.
  6. Scoop the dough onto the baking sheets, spacing about two inches apart.
  7. Bake the cookies for 11 minutes, then press the centers gently with a measuring cup.
  8. Bake for another 2 minutes until set but still soft. Allow cooling on the sheets.
  9. Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar in a bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  10. Combine instant chocolate pudding with milk, then fold into the whipped cream.
  11. Fill each cookie well with mousse once they are completely cool.
  12. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls, then chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
