Ingredients Needed

For the cookie base:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 pack (3.4 oz) Oreo cookies and cream pudding mix (dry)

Dry ingredients:

• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt

Mix-ins:

• 1 to 1½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 12–14 cookies) – crush to your preferred texture
• 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional but highly recommended)

How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies

Step 1: Prep your oven and pans
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats so the cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.

Step 2: Cream the butter and sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture looks light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. This step traps air in the dough, giving your cookies a softer texture.

Step 3: Add eggs and flavor boosters
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract and the dry pudding mix. The pudding mix not only adds Oreo flavor but also locks in moisture.

Step 4: Combine dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This prevents clumps and ensures the leavening is evenly distributed.

Step 5: Bring it all together
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Overmixing can make cookies tough, so stop once no streaks of flour remain.

Step 6: Fold in the goodies
Gently stir in the crushed Oreos and white chocolate chips. You want a mix of fine crumbs and larger Oreo chunks for the best texture.

Step 7: Scoop and shape
Using a medium cookie scoop portion the dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.

Step 8: Bake to perfection
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges look set but the centers are still soft. They’ll continue to firm up as they cool, so resist overbaking.

Step 9: Cool before enjoying
Let Cookies and Cream Cookies rest on the baking sheet for 3–4 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serving:

• Warm with melting white chocolate just like the gooey bits in those macadamia nut cookies.
• Pair with strawberry-rhubarb crumble for a sweet and tangy combo.
• Plate on an elegant dessert board, especially when serving at holiday gatherings.

Storage:

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months; simply reheat for 10–15 seconds in the microwave.

Helpful Notes

• For extra chewiness, cool just until edges firm, then let the centers finish setting on the tray.
• Want a seasonal twist? Replace white chocolate chips with festive M&Ms for holiday flair.
• You can freeze unbaked dough—just bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the bake time. It’s great for spontaneous cookie cravings.
