HOW TO MAKE THESE COOKIES AND CREAM COOKIES
Cookies and Cream Cookies are the perfect treat for any sweets lover. They are soft and chewy, with a slightly crunchy texture from the chocolate chips. Follow the steps below to make them.
- First, scrape the cream center out of 12 Oreos.
- Then, place the chocolate cookies in a freezer bag and crush into fine crumbs using a rolling pin. Place crumbs in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, chop about 8 Oreos into small chunks; set aside.
- For the cookie base, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy using a stand mixer or electric mixer. Then, add the eggs and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Next, mix in the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder on low speed until everything is just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips and Oreo pieces.
- Use a cookie scoop to place 1 scoop of dough onto a baking sheet. Top it with an Oreo cookie.
- Seal the dough edges together by pressing and cupping in your hand and rolling until the oreo is enclosed with cookie dough.
- Roll the dough balls in chocolate Oreo crumbs until fully coated.
- Next, refrigerate the dough balls for 30 minutes before baking or freeze for later use.
- While the dough is in the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 350℉ and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Transfer about 5 dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 3-4 inches apart and bake for 10-13 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Then, bake the next batch.
- To make the glaze whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over cooled cookies and allow 30 minutes for drizzle to set.
Serve and Enjoy!
TIPS
- Use room temperature ingredients. Room temperature eggs and softened butter work best in baked goods such as cookies. It results in a chewier cookie.
- You can crush the cookies using a food processor if you have one.
- You can also melt the cream from the centers of the oreos and use as a drizzle.
- Don’t overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough can also lead to excess gluten, resulting in dense cookies.
STORAGE TIPS
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- You can store them for up to three days.
- Dough balls can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw for about 30 minutes before baking to get a flatter cookie.
