How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies (Overview)
Whipping up these Cookies and Cream Cookies is a breeze! Start by mixing your dry ingredients — this is the brainy part, and your cookies will thank you for it later. Next, cream those sweet butter and sugar together (think melting happiness!). Add in the egg and vanilla, then gently fold in the Oreo chunks and white chocolate. Shape and bake those cuties until slightly golden. Pro tip: Keep an eye on them — you want chewy, not crunchy!
How to Serve Cookies and Cream Cookies
These cookies are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven, with a glass of cold milk. The juxtaposition of the soft cookie and the creamy chunks creates an irresistible bite. Or try stacking them with some ice cream for a sinfully good dessert sundae! Imagine the melty white chocolate oozing between layers—heavenly!
How to Store Cookies and Cream Cookies
Keep your cookies fresh for up to one week in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to be smart, stash them in the freezer instead — they last for up to three months! Just pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for that fresh-out-of-the-oven vibe again.
Tips to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies
Chill before baking: If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before scooping.
Swap the chips: If you’re feeling adventurous, try using dark chocolate chips or even peanut butter chips for a flavor twist!
Measure flour correctly: Weighing your flour can help you avoid any dry cookies. Just a little tip from me to you!
Variation
Feel free to experiment! Swap the Oreos for vegan chocolate cookies if you want a vegan option, or add nuts for crunch. You can even replace white chocolate chips with dark chocolate to give it a richer taste.
