Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. Gather all your ingredients so they’re ready to use, ensuring your butter and eggs are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
- Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and prevents any salty pockets in your finished cookies and cream cookies. Set this mixture aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.
- Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugars In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Don’t rush this step – properly creamed butter and sugar creates air pockets that give your cookies their wonderful texture. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture has lightened in color and looks almost fluffy.
- Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Your mixture should now be smooth and glossy.
- Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Over-mixing at this stage can make your cookies tough, so stop once the flour disappears.
- Step 6: Fold in the Cookies and Chips Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies, white chocolate chips, and semi-sweet chocolate chips (if using) with a rubber spatula. This careful folding preserves the distinctive cookies and cream appearance and prevents the Oreo pieces from breaking down too much.
- Step 7: Scoop and Bake Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Step 8: Cool and Enjoy Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting period allows the cookies to set up properly. Once cooled, store your delicious Cookies and Cream Cookies in an airtight container or enjoy immediately!
