Instructions
Let's make cookie and cream cookie recipe!
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Chop the Oreos into medium size pieces.
Step 2. Roughly chop the white chocolate if using a bar.
Step 3.Using beaters or the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Scraping down the bowl as needed.
Step 4. Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl in 2 batches, mixing after each. Mix on medium speed until combined and a dough forms. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
Step 5. Fold in the chopped Oreos and white chocolate (I used dark chocolate as well)
Step 6. For the large cookies bake for 14-15 minutes or until the edges look set and the center still looks underdone, they will continue baking on the baking sheet. For regular size bake for 11-12 minutes. Do not over bake! While the cookies are still hot, scoot them to create perfectly round thick cookies. Place a bowl or round cookie cutter that’s larger than your cookie and push the sides up while scooting in a circular motion while hot.
Hint: Place a few pieces of white chocolate and Oreos on top before baking to really scream cookies & cream!
Pro tips
- Don't Over mix the Dough: Mix just until the ingredients are combined to ensure cookies that don't spread like crazy.
- Chop Oreos into Smaller Pieces: Chop the Oreos into medium pieces to ensure even distribution; large pieces can cause the cookies to spread unevenly. Birthday cake blondies have Oreos as well!
- Use a Hand or Stand Mixer: Cream the butter and sugars with a hand mixer or stand mixer for a light, fluffy texture that helps create the right consistency.
- Don’t Skip the Salt: Adding kosher salt and using salted butter enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness, making the chocolate taste even richer.
- Scoop and Shape While Hot: Place a bowl or round cookie cutter that’s larger than your cookie and push the sides up while scooting in a circular motion while hot.
