Ingredients

Cookies and Cream Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
1 cup white chocolate chips

Make sure to use high-quality chocolate sandwich cookies for the best flavor!

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this mixture into the creamed mixture until just combined.

Add Cookies and Chips

Fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Scoop and Bake

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and Enjoy

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious cookies!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Storing Your Cookies

To keep your cookies fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to a week, but we doubt they'll last that long once you start munching on them! If you want to keep them for an extended period, consider freezing them. Just place the baked cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.

When you're ready to enjoy your frozen cookies, simply let them thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or you can warm them up in the oven for a few minutes to restore that freshly baked taste. This way, you can have a delicious treat ready whenever the craving strikes.

Baking Tips for Success

For the best results, make sure your butter is softened but not melted. Softened butter incorporates better with the sugars, resulting in a light and fluffy texture. Additionally, be careful not to overmix the dough after adding the flour. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.

If you prefer your cookies a bit chewier, consider slightly underbaking them. Remove them from the oven when the edges are golden but the centers still look soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet, giving you that perfect chewy texture.
