Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Dough: Melt the unsalted butter and beat with brown and granulated sugars until creamy and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add eggs one at a time and mix with vanilla extract until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix into the wet mixture and fold in Oreo crumbs.
  4. Cool Dough: Let dough rest for 10 minutes while preheating oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Portion & Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized dough onto lined baking sheets and bake for 11 minutes, pressing centers with a cup, then bake for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Cool Cookies: Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  7. Make Mousse: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form; fold in prepared chocolate pudding.
  8. Fill Cookies: Fill each cookie with mousse, top with whipped cream and optional chocolate curls.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate filled cookies until mousse is set, around 30 minutes.
