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

Best Ways to Serve These Cookies

  • With cold milk or an Oreo milkshake
  • Crumbled over vanilla ice cream
  • In a mason jar gift pack with ribbon
  • As ice cream sandwich cookies
  • On a dessert board with strawberries, fudge, and brownies
