Table of Contents
This cookies and cream cookies recipe is a brilliant mashup between classic chocolate chip cookies and Oreos. Not only are the soft cookies studded with white chocolate chips and Oreo cookie chunks but there is also a whole Oreo baked right inside the cookie.
Cookies And Cream Cookies Ingredients
Every bite is an adventure with these cookies. Not only is there plenty of crunch from the Oreo pieces throughout the cookie, but there is a whole new bit of fun when you discover an entire cookie inside.
Basic pantry staples create a classic cookie dough that is just begging for a few fun additions, including the Oreos and sweet white chocolate chips to finish it all off.
To make these treats, you’ll need:
- ¾ cup of unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of chopped Oreos, divided (about 12 Oreos)
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips, divided
- 15 whole Oreos
Substitutions And Additions
OREOS: You can use golden Oreos, double-stuffed Oreos, any seasonal Oreo variety, or generic chocolate sandwich cookies to make this cookie and cream-Oreo cookies recipe.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Dark or milk chocolate chips can be used if you prefer a more intense, less sweet chocolate flavor. Alternatively, for a fruity twist, you could use dried cranberries or raisins instead.
VANILLA EXTRACT: If you want to try something different, almond extract could be used in place of vanilla. It will give your cookies a slight nutty flavor, which can be an interesting change from the traditional vanilla taste.
How To Make This Cookies And Cream Cookies Recipe
To whip up a batch of these delicious cookies, you’ll start by making a batch of cookie dough. It’s straightforward and simple to make.
Next, you’ll fold in the white chocolate chips and Oreo pieces before wrapping the cookie dough around a whole Oreo cookie.
Bake the cookies, and then you get to dig in!
STEP ONE: Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
STEP TWO: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula. This will take at least 3 minutes with a stand mixer.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
You can use a hand mixer, but it will take about 5 minutes to properly cream the butter and sugars.
STEP THREE: Add the eggs to the mixer and mix until combined.
STEP FOUR: Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Let mix on low speed until the flour mixture is just combined.
STEP FIVE: Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in 1 cup of the chopped Oreos and ¾ cup of white chocolate chips.
STEP SIX: Place the whole Oreos on the prepared baking sheet. The cookies will spread, so only put 6 cookies on each cookie sheet.
PRO TIP:
When pressing the dough into the cookies, press them onto the top of the cookies as much as possible since they will spread out during baking.
STEP SEVEN: Using a ¼ cup capacity cookie scoop or ¼ cup measuring cup, portion the cookie dough on top of the Oreos. Gently press the remaining chopped Oreos and white chocolate chips into the cookie dough. I used about 4 chips and 3 to 4 chunks of Oreos per cookie. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
PRO TIP:
Be sure to refrigerate the cookies before baking. If you skip this step, the cookies will spread out too much because the dough will be too warm.
STEP EIGHT: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
STEP NINE: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 17 to 20 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned and no longer glossy at the top center.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cookies at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
STEP TEN: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet.
How To Serve
For a really indulgent treat, you could turn the cookies into the base for an ice cream sundae type of treat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of hot fudge sauce.
These incredible cookies n cream cookies taste the best when dipped in a cold glass of milk. Try our Wendy’s Frosty or a mint chocolate chip milkshake. The sweet mint from the shake will cut through the richness of the cookie dough and complement it perfectly.

Storage
MAKE AHEAD: If you’re planning for a future event or just want to have some dough on standby, you’re in luck because this recipe is very accommodating. You can prepare the cookie dough ahead of time, then cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When you’re ready to bake, simply let the dough come back to room temperature, preheat your oven, and proceed with the recipe. This method ensures you have fresh cookies on demand with no extra hassle.
ON THE COUNTER: Store these chewy cookies in a Ziploc bag or cookie jar for up to 3 days.
IN THE FREEZER: The white chocolate chip cookies can also be frozen and baked as needed. You will need to add 3 to 5 minutes to the baking time and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F if baking from frozen.
If you are freezing the cookie dough, make sure to add the baking time and temperature right to the label on the container, so it’s easy to pop them in the oven when the craving strikes.
With these delicious Oreo cookies and cream cookies, there is no need to decide between the nostalgia of chocolate chip cookies or your craving for Oreos. They are crispy on the edges and bursting with Oreos and creamy white chocolate chips.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Store the unbaked cookies in a plastic bag in the freezer until you are ready to bake them. They will last in the freezer for 4 weeks. Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container or in a Ziploc bag for up to 3 days.
Once your chocolate cookies and cream cookies come out of the oven, use a cookie cutter or large mold to shape the cookies into a perfect circle. Be sure to do this while the cookies are still warm and pliable.
You can use a silicone baking mat if you don’t have parchment paper. If you don’t have that, you can bake the cookies directly on the baking sheet. The cookies already have enough butter in the dough, so you don’t need to butter the cookie or spray it with any pan spray. Coating the baking sheet with any oil may cause the cookies to spread too much.
