How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream Butter + Sugars
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3: Add Eggs + Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5: Mix Dry into Wet
Slowly add dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined — don’t overmix!
Step 6: Fold in the Magic
Gently fold in the chopped Oreos and white chocolate chips. Dough will be thick and chunky.
Step 7: Scoop & Bake
Use a medium cookie scoop to drop dough onto baking sheets (2″ apart). Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers still look soft.
Step 8: Cool & Devour
Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Try not to eat them all at once. 😉
Pro Tips for Soft & Chewy Cookies
For extra gooey centers, underbake by 1 minute and let finish cooking on the tray
Want bakery-style tops? Add a few Oreo bits on top before baking
Make a double batch and freeze half the dough
No chill cookies and cream cookie dough = fast results, but you can refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor
Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies that bake perfectly
