Cookies and Cream Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with Oreo chunks and white chocolate chips. They taste just like cookies and cream ice cream, but in a perfectly baked cookie form. I love how easy they are to make and how every bite delivers that classic cookies and cream flavor I can’t get enough of.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These cookies have everything I look for in a dessert—fast, indulgent, and kid-friendly. I don’t need to chill the dough, which means I can have fresh cookies on the table in less than 30 minutes. The Oreo cookie chunks add a slight crunch while the white chocolate chips bring in a creamy sweetness. If I’m craving something nostalgic yet elevated, this is what I bake.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

all-purpose flour
cornstarch
baking powder
baking soda
salt
unsalted butter, softened
granulated sugar
egg
vanilla extract
Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
white chocolate chips

Directions

I preheat the oven to 350°F and line my baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
In a small bowl, I whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Using a hand or stand mixer, I cream the softened butter and sugar until well blended.
I add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue to mix until smooth.
On low speed, I gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
I fold in the chopped Oreos and white chocolate chips until they’re evenly mixed in.
I use a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to form dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. I gently press them down slightly.
I bake the cookies for 8–10 minutes, just until the sides are set. I let them cool for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

Variations

When I want to switch things up, I love using Golden Oreos instead of the classic ones for a vanilla twist. Around the holidays, I toss in themed Oreos or festive sprinkles to match the season. I’ve even swapped out the white chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks or used chopped cookies and cream bars—my personal favorite candy bar—for extra indulgence.

storage/reheating

To keep them fresh, I store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. If I make a big batch, I flash freeze them first on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They last up to 3 months that way. To enjoy later, I just let them thaw at room temperature.

FAQs

How do I keep the cookies soft after baking?

I make sure to slightly underbake them—when the edges are set but the centers still look soft. As they cool, they firm up while staying chewy.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. I let it come to room temperature before baking or I scoop it into balls and bake directly if I’m in a hurry.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

I’ve tried it, but I find that margarine can make the dough crumbly and affect the flavor. If I use it, I usually add a touch more to help bind the dough better.

Why are my cookies too puffy?

It could be from adding too much flour. I always spoon and level my flour instead of scooping. Pressing the cookies down slightly before baking helps flatten them as well.

Can I use other cookies besides Oreos?

Absolutely. I like using different sandwich cookies or even holiday-flavored Oreos. It gives the recipe a unique twist each time.

Conclusion

Cookies and Cream Cookies are one of my go-to treats when I want something fun, nostalgic, and ridiculously good. They come together quickly, don’t need chilling, and always impress. Whether I’m baking for a party, a care package, or just a weeknight dessert, these cookies never disappoint.
