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, I like the results of using self-rising flour in this recipe. Therefore, I cannot guarantee success with
all-purpose flour , since this is not how I make it. - Sift the flour before measuring. Most of all, learn how to measure flour properly. I wrote a detailed post; you can read it here.
- Also, you’ll need to measure the brown sugar ‘packed’. That means filling your cup with brown sugar and pressing it down firmly. Add more sugar and press again until the cup is full.
- Finally, the hot water should be hot to the touch; it doesn’t have to be boiling.
Frequently Asked Questions
The hot water combines with the sugar during baking to create the rich chocolate sauce underneath the cake layer.
Yes. Add baking powder and salt as noted above to make your own self-rising flour substitute.
Yes. Bake it earlier in the day and warm individual servings before serving.
Absolutely. Mint, Golden, Peanut Butter, Birthday Cake, and Double Stuf all work well.
Serving Suggestions

- Vanilla ice cream
- Chocolate ice cream

I misread the directions and mixed brown sugar into the batter.. Waiting for it to cool off to try and see if it’s as good as yours!
If not i willl be remaking again soon!
Do you leave the Oreo cream in the cookies or take it out?
Leave it in, Janette.
I have a question for you….can I use a baking mix (such as Bisquick) to make this, instead of self-rising flour? This sounds super delicious, and my husband loves all things Oreo, so I’d like to try it. Actually, I WILL try it, I’m just wondering if I can use Bisquick. Thank you!!
I haven’t tried it with baking mix but I did try it with cake mix and I did not like the outcome. It was dense and just wasn’t good. I think the baking mix would have the same outcome.
Love it but, way too sweet! Next time I think I’ll cut both sugars in half.
I have a question. You pour 1 1/2 cups of water over the batter? Wouldn’t that ruin the cobbler?
Thanks for the help!
No, it cooks with the butter and sugar to make the syrup.
I made this recipe for a scout event and IT WAS THE BEST COBBLER I EVER HAD!!!!!!
If I had my choice I would make this every possible time I can.
Cheap and tasty great for events and gatherings.
Agree 100%!! This is the BEST cobbler I ever made. It was easy. I got my Oreos from a “bent and dent” store. I had everything else on hand…though I usually buy 1% milk and went and bought a half gallon of whole milk at the store just for this recipe. I will definitely make this often. My husband and 3 kids went crazy over it!
Do you store this in the fridge?
I would but to be honest it doesn’t last long enough (less than a day) here to store.
SWOOOON! How gorgeous! So glad you shared with us at Weekend Potluck.
Hi, would this recipe work with soy milk or almond milk instead of whole milk?
It will, it just won’t be a rich and creamy
I usually see the term cobbler and run for the hills. Cooked fruit does not mesh with my stomach but this looks amazing.
