How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookie
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 mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar together at medium speed until combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until everything is smooth and there are no lumps, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until a cookie dough forms.
- Add the coarsely chopped Oreos and white chocolate chips to the dough, mixing until they are evenly dispersed.
- Use a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough) to scoop the dough and round it with your hands. Gently press down on each cookie a bit.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the sides are set. It’s okay if the centers look a little underbaked. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
How to Serve Cookies and Cream Cookies
Serve these delightful cookies warm for a melty chocolate experience, or let them cool completely for a firmer treat. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or just on their own!

Tips to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies
- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Don’t overmix the cookie dough after adding the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
- For extra crunch, you can add more chopped Oreos or use a mix of chocolate chips.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes for better structure.
Variation
You can experiment with different types of chocolate chips, like dark chocolate or milk chocolate, instead of white chocolate. You can also add nuts or swap some of the Oreos for another type of cookie if you want a different flavor.
