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 your 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 this aside for later.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or a stand mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth. Be sure to scrape 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 just until the cookie dough comes together, then stir in the chopped cookies and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Use a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons of dough) to scoop the dough and roll it into a ball with your hands. Gently press down on each cookie just a little bit.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. It’s okay if the centers look slightly underbaked. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

How to Serve Cookies and Cream Cookies

These cookies are best served warm, straight from the oven. Pair them with a glass of cold milk or hot chocolate for a comforting treat. They can also be served on a festive platter for gatherings or parties.

How to Store Cookies and Cream Cookies

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for about 4-5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies in a zip-top bag. Just thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

Tips to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies

Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for the best mixing results.
Do not overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients; this keeps the cookies soft.
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or a little cocoa powder to the dough.

Variation

For a different twist, try swapping out the white chocolate chips for milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. You can also use peanut butter cookies instead of Oreos for a nutty flavor.
