Looking for a delightful twist on classic cookies? These Cookies & Cream Cookies are a perfect blend of rich flavors and irresistible texture, combining creamy white chocolate chips with crunchy bits of Oreo cookies. Here’s how to bake up a batch of these mouthwatering treats!
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating well until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the mixture, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the Cookies:
Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring to space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy Your Cookies & Cream Cookies!
Once cooled, indulge in these decadent cookies that perfectly balance the sweetness of white chocolate with the satisfying crunch of Oreo pieces. They’re ideal for any occasion, from family gatherings to cookie swaps!
Serving Tips:
Presentation: Arrange the Cookies & Cream Cookies on a decorative platter or in a cookie jar for a charming presentation.
Pairing Suggestions: Serve these cookies alongside a glass of cold milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a warm cup of coffee for a delightful treat.
Variety: Offer a variety of cookies at gatherings to cater to different tastes, but be prepared for these to disappear quickly!
Storage Tips:
Cooling Before Storage: Allow the Cookies & Cream Cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing to prevent condensation and maintain crispness.
Air-Tight Container: Store the cooled cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature. Layer the cookies with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together and maintain their texture.
Avoid Moisture: Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Moisture can cause the cookies to become soft or lose their crispness.
Freezing Option: If you want to store them for longer, you can freeze the Cookies & Cream Cookies in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Ensure they are completely cooled before freezing. Thaw them at room temperature when ready to enjoy.
Reheating Tip: To restore the just-baked texture, briefly warm the cookies in a low oven (around 300°F) for a few minutes before serving, especially if they have been stored for a few days.

FAQs:
Can I use double-stuffed Oreos in this recipe?
Yes, you can definitely use double-stuffed Oreos for extra creaminess and flavor in your Cookies & Cream Cookies. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference, but keep in mind that the cookie dough consistency may vary slightly.
How long do Cookies & Cream Cookies stay fresh?
When stored properly in an air-tight container at room temperature, Cookies & Cream Cookies can stay fresh for up to 5-7 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2-3 months.
Can I substitute ingredients like dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can customize the recipe by substituting white chocolate chips with your preferred chocolate variety, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips. This alteration can create a different flavor profile while maintaining the cookies’ texture.
Can I make the cookie dough ahead of time and freeze it for later use?

Shape the dough into individual cookie portions, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the cookie dough balls into a freezer-safe container or bag.
