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 the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar on medium speed until combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until the cookie dough forms, then add the chopped cookies and white chocolate chips. Stir until evenly dispersed.
- Use a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons of dough) to scoop the dough. Shape it slightly in your hands and gently press down on the cookies.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the sides are set. It’s okay if the centers look a bit underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

FAQs
1. Can I use another type of cookie instead of Oreos?
Yes! You can use any chocolate sandwich cookie or even try other flavors to create different cookie varieties.
2. How do I know when my cookies are done baking?
Look for the sides of the cookies to be set and slightly golden. The centers may still look soft, which is okay.
3. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough up to 2 days in advance. Just wrap it tightly and refrigerate. When ready to bake, scoop and bake directly from the fridge.
