How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookie Recipe
Getting started on this delicious journey is just a few steps away! Don’t worry; it’s super easy. Here’s how you can whip these up and impress your friends—or just treat yourself (no judgment!).
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 + 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 the oven to 350°F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. A must-do, trust me!
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set that bowl aside and pat yourself on the back—you’re already halfway there!
In a large mixing bowl (or with a stand mixer, if you’re fancy), beat the softened butter and granulated sugar at medium speed. Mix until combined, and don’t skip this step because it adds that yummy texture.
Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl—no one likes lumpy cookies!
Reduce the mixer speed to low and start adding the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Only mix until a dough forms. Then, toss in those chopped Oreos and white chocolate chips until they’re evenly mixed.
Use a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons of dough) to scoop out the cookies. Roll them in your hand and give them a gentle press before baking.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. Believe me, a slightly underbaked center is totally okay. 🍪 Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
How to Serve Cookies and Cream Cookie Recipe
Now that you’ve made these bad boys, how do you serve them? Well, you can enjoy these cookies warm with a glass of milk (classic combo!) or even crumble them over vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. 😂 The options are endless, so don’t hold back!
How to Store Cookies and Cream Cookie Recipe
Got leftovers? (If you do, I’m impressed—but let’s hope not!) Store them in an airtight container, and they’ll stay fresh for about a week. You can also freeze the cookie dough before baking. Just scoop the dough and freeze them on a baking sheet—you can bake freshly-made cookies whenever the craving hits!
Tips to Make Cookies and Cream Cookie Recipe
- Room temperature butter is key! It helps make your cookies nice and fluffy.
- Don’t overmix once you add the dry ingredients. Keep it gentle to keep them soft.
- If you want a little more crunch, try adding a few extra Oreo pieces on top before baking. More is more, right?
Variation
Feeling adventurous? You can swap the Oreos for any chocolate sandwich cookie or even throw in some chopped nuts for an extra crunch. Dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate? Yes, please! The world is your oyster (or cookie, in this case).
FAQs
1. Can I use light brown sugar instead of granulated sugar?
Absolutely! Light brown sugar will give your cookies a richer flavor and a touch of chewiness.
2. How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
Look for slightly golden edges and a set center. They will continue to bake a bit on the pan even after you take them out.
3. Can I make this dough ahead of time?
Totally! You can prepare the dough a day in advance and keep it in the fridge. Just let it come to room temperature before you bake them!
Now, go ahead and whip up a batch of these Cookies and Cream cookies! You won’t regret it! 😍
