Ingredients You’ll Need for Cookies and Cream Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie chunks

How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the Oreo cookie chunks and white chocolate chips, feeling free to sneak a taste or two along the way!
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft and chewy.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Delicious Variations to Try

Minty Fresh: Stir in some peppermint extract or add mint chocolate chips for a unique holiday twist that’s refreshing and festive.
Nutty Crunch: Add a cup of toasted pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch that complements the creamy cookies.
Chocolate Lovers: Swap out half of the white chocolate chips for semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra indulgent experience.
Fruitful Layers: Consider folding in dried cranberries or cherries for a sweet-tart contrast that adds both color and flavor.
