What Is a Dump Cobbler?
A dump cobbler is exactly what it sounds like. Instead of carefully layering ingredients, you simply add everything to the baking dish in a specific order and let the oven do the work.
As it bakes, the batter rises while the sugar and hot water create a rich chocolate sauce underneath. The result is part cobbler, part pudding cake, and completely irresistible.
The crushed Oreo cookies add even more chocolate flavor and a fun cookies-and-cream twist.
This recipe is totally the result of a suggestion from my youngest son, Ryder. He requested, ‘Oreos baked into a cake’. As a result, I developed this decadent cobbler!

3 Step Oreo Cookie Dump Cobbler
- First of all, I like the results of using self-rising flour with this recipe. Therefore, I cannot guarantee the success of using
all-purpose flour since this is not how I make it. The substitution to useall-purpose flour is: Combine 1 cup of all–purpose flour with 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. - Sift the flour before measuring. Most of all, learn how to properly measure flour. I wrote a detailed post, you can read it here.
- Also, you’ll need to measure the brown sugar ‘packed’. That means to fill your cup with brown sugar and firmly press it down. Add more sugar and press again until the cup is full.
- Finally, hot water is hot to the touch; it does not have to be boiling.
Frequently Asked Questions

Love it!
This looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it! I just wondered if using whole milk is a must or if 2% will work? Thanks so much!
2% will work.
So bummed this didn’t turn out like I thought. The Oreos became almost gelatinous and there was no buttery caramel sauce. And I followed the recipe to a t!
Did you use real butter?
I just made this for a Halloween party and knew I also needed to make one for home. This is so delicious. My mother was cussing me for ruining her diet. Haha
Hahahaha – Sorry Mom!! I’m so happy you liked it!
Do you use salted butter or unsalted?
I used salted.
This recipe is terrific!!! I made one pan, will make 2 next time. It was gone that quick! Definitely be in the dessert rotation!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
I have made this recipe twice and I get rave reviews. It is so easy to make. I will be making it for our Memorial Day cookout this year.
