how to make Cookies and Cream Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened, at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 Oreo or chocolate sandwich cookies (coarsely chopped)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set them aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside for later.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or a stand mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until they are well combined.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Remember to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Lower the mixer speed to slow and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Continue mixing just until a cookie dough forms. Stir in the chopped Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips until they are evenly mixed in.
- Use a small cookie scoop (equal to about 2 tablespoons of dough) to scoop the dough and shape it into a ball with your hands. Gently press down on each cookie a bit.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. It’s okay if the cookie centers look a little underbaked. Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy your delicious cookies!
how to serve Cookies and Cream Cookie Recipe
These Cookies and Cream Cookies are best enjoyed warm, right out of the oven, or after they’ve cooled down a bit. Serve them on a platter for parties or just enjoy them at home with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also make great lunchbox treats or snacks for after school!
how to store Cookies and Cream Cookie Recipe
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should last for about a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cookies. Just place the cooled cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they will stay fresh for up to three months. When you want to enjoy them, simply thaw them at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.
tips to make Cookies and Cream Cookie Recipe
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients. This keeps the cookies soft.
- For a more intense Oreo flavor, feel free to add extra chopped Oreos.
- If you like a crunchier cookie, bake them a little longer, just watch out for over-baking.
variation
You can switch it up by using different types of chocolate chips, like dark chocolate or milk chocolate, instead of or in addition to white chocolate chips. You can also add nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
