Cookies and Cream Cookies Recipe

Introduction

Cookies and Cream Cookies are a delightful treat combining classic cookie dough with the irresistible crunch of crushed Oreos. Perfect for any occasion, these cookies offer a rich, creamy flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
2. Step 2: Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
3. Step 3: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
4. Step 4: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough before mixing in the Oreos.
• Use mini Oreo pieces to get a more even distribution of cookie bits throughout each cookie.
• Try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and improve texture.

Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a soft, warm cookie experience.

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can substitute Oreos with any chocolate sandwich cookies or similar cookies you prefer. Just crush them into small pieces to mix into the dough.

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup crushed Oreos (about 6 Oreos)

Wet Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined. Fold in the crushed Oreos evenly into the dough to distribute the cookies throughout.
2. Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form small balls of dough and place them evenly spaced on a lined or greased baking sheet.
3. Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookie dough balls for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The centers may look soft but will firm up while cooling.
4. Cool: Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents breaking or crumbling.

Notes

• For an extra crunch, add chopped nuts to the dough.
• Use softened butter for easy mixing and better texture.
• Do not overbake; the cookies should be soft and chewy inside.
• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
