Instructions: How to Make These Irresistible Cookies

Ready to bake up a batch of cookies ‘n cream goodness? Let’s go!

1. Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup (and to prevent sticking).

2. Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3 minutes with an electric mixer.

3. Add the Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix again.

4. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Fold in the Oreo Cookies (and White Chocolate Chips)

Gently fold in the crushed Oreos and white chocolate chips (if using) with a spatula. The more chunks of Oreo, the better!

6. Scoop the Dough

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart, as they’ll spread a bit while baking.

7. Bake the Cookies

Bake in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool, so don’t worry if they look a little soft when they come out of the oven.

8. Let Them Cool

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and gives you the perfect chewy texture.

9. Serve and Enjoy!

Now, it’s time to enjoy your warm, gooey cookies! These are perfect with a cold glass of milk, or if you’re feeling extra indulgent, serve with a scoop of ice cream!

How to Serve Cookies ‘n Cream Cookies

These cookies are delicious on their own, but if you want to elevate the experience, here are a few ideas:

• With Ice Cream: Sandwich two cookies around a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for a cookies ‘n cream ice cream sandwich.
• With Milk: No cookie is complete without a tall glass of milk—perfect for dunking!
• For a Party: Serve these cookies at your next gathering, along with other sweet treats, for an irresistible dessert table.

Additional Tips

Chill the Dough (Optional)

For thicker, chewier cookies, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent excessive spreading and makes the cookies a little puffier.

Use Room Temperature Ingredients

Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you begin. This helps the dough mix better and results in cookies with a smooth texture.

Don’t Overbake

For the perfect chewy cookie, take them out when they’re just starting to brown at the edges but are still soft in the middle. They’ll continue to cook a little on the baking sheet after you remove them from the oven.
