The Best Cookies and Cream Cookies Recipe You’ll Ever Try
This Cookies and Cream Cookies recipe combines the classic flavors of chocolate and cream in a soft, chewy cookie. The dough is made by creaming together butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla, then mixing in flour, baking soda, and salt. Crushed Oreos are folded into the dough, with an optional addition of white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Separate bowl for dry ingredients
- Hand mixer or stand mixer optional, but helpful
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Mat
- baking sheet
- Cookie scoop optional
- Spatula
- Wire rack for cooling
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter 226g, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
- ½ cup packed brown sugar 100g
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour 350g
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups crushed Oreos 200g about 18-20 cookies
Optional
- ½ cup white chocolate chips 90g
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 3: Fold in the Oreos
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreos (and white chocolate chips, if using) using a spatula. Ensure the pieces are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 4 : Shape the Cookies
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Lightly press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten it.
Step 5: Bake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
