How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies
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 oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat/silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer or a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix together until smooth and there are no lumps. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Reduce to low speed and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Continue to mix together just until cookie dough forms, then add the chopped cookies and white chocolate chips until evenly dispersed.
- Use a small cookie scoop (equivalent to 2 tablespoons of cookie dough) to scoop cookie dough and round with your hand. Gently press down on the cookies just a bit.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the sides are set. It’s okay if the centers of the cookies look underbaked. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
How to Serve Cookies and Cream Cookies
These cookies are best enjoyed warm right out of the oven, but they are also delicious served at room temperature. Pair them with a glass of cold milk for a classic treat or enjoy them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a fun dessert.
How to Store Cookies and Cream Cookies
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay soft and chewy for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cookies. Just place them in a freezer-safe bag and they can last for up to three months.
Tips to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added, as it can make the cookies tough.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven; keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake.
Variation
You can mix in other types of chocolate chips, such as milk chocolate or dark chocolate, in place of the white chocolate chips for a different flavor. You might also try adding chopped nuts for some added crunch!
