Cookies & Cream Cookies
Description
These Cookies & Cream Cookies feature a dough base mixing butter, cream cheese, and two types of sugar for a tender, flavorful foundation. Whisked with eggs and vanilla, the dough is combined with flour, baking soda, and salt before folding in chopped Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips to add texture and contrasting flavors. Chilling the dough for several hours firms it, which helps the cookies hold shape and develop a soft yet structured crumb during baking.
The cookies bake at 350°F until edges are lightly golden while centers remain soft. The inclusion of cream cheese adds moisture and a slight tang, enhancing the cookie’s richness. Flaky sea salt sprinkled on top highlights the chocolate and cookie pieces, creating a balanced sweet and salty profile.
These cookies are suitable for dessert or snack occasions, offering a distinct cookies-and-cream experience with both crunchy cookie bits and smooth white chocolate, ideal for sharing or special treats.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup butter at room temperature, unsalted
- 3 oz cream cheese at room temperature, full fat
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 12 Oreo cookies chopped
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- sea salt for sprinkling on cookies, flaky
- Oreos for garnish, optional, extra, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugars together until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl with a spatula, as necessary.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined. Don’t over mix.
- Stir in the chopped Oreos and white chocolate chips. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours before baking, preferably overnight.
- When ready to bake, remove the dough from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.
- Form the dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons per cookie. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 12 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. Don’t over bake. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Gently press extra Oreo pieces on top of the cookies, if desired.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.
