Soft-Baked Cookies & Cream Cookies: A Classic Treat with a Twist

The Cookie That Feels Like a Hug

Cookies and cream isn’t just a flavor—it’s a feeling. One bite and you’re hit with sweet nostalgia: the crunch of chocolate sandwich cookies, the smooth creaminess of vanilla, the comfort of a freshly baked cookie. It’s the perfect marriage of two desserts that never go out of style.

These cookies & cream cookies bring that dreamy flavor to life in the softest, chewiest form imaginable. Picture a buttery vanilla cookie dough, stuffed with crushed Oreo chunks and creamy white chocolate chips. Golden on the outside, soft in the center, and every bite packed with cookies and cream goodness.

Whether you’re baking for a party, a cozy night in, or just because your sweet tooth said so—this recipe is always the answer.

Ingredients That Make the Magic

Simple ingredients, major payoff. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 12–15 cookies)
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Want extra crunch? Toss in a handful of mini chocolate chips too.

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
3. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
6. Fold in the crushed Oreos and white chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
7. Scoop dough onto the baking sheets using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

These cookies will firm up as they cool, so don’t overbake—they’re best slightly underdone for that perfect soft center.

Why This Recipe Works

These cookies are a win because they use the right balance of sugars to create a soft texture and deep flavor. The Oreo chunks melt slightly into the dough, creating gooey pockets of chocolate while the white chocolate chips add creaminess. It’s a cookie that’s playful, rich, and impossible to eat just one.

Make Them Your Own

Want to change things up? Here are some delicious twists:

• Stuff them with cream cheese frosting or a white chocolate truffle for a surprise center.
• Use double-stuffed Oreos for extra creamy bites.
• Add sprinkles for a funfetti-style cookies & cream version.
• Make it a cookie sandwich with marshmallow fluff or ice cream in the middle.

Storage Tips

These cookies stay soft and fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the dough balls and bake straight from the freezer—just add a few extra minutes to the bake time.

Final Thoughts

Cookies and cream cookies are the best kind of mashup: fun, classic, and totally comforting. They bring the childhood joy of dunking Oreos into milk and combine it with the warmth of a homemade cookie. Once you bake them, they’ll be your go-to every time you crave something sweet, soft, and unforgettable.
