Storage Tips

To keep your Cookies and Cream Cookies fresh and delicious for longer, proper storage is key. Allow the cookies to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week, making them a perfect treat to enjoy throughout the week without losing their taste or texture.

If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing the cookies. Simply layer them between sheets of parchment paper in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy them, just let them thaw at room temperature, and they'll taste as good as fresh-baked!

Ingredients

For the 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 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
1 cup white chocolate chips

Mix the ingredients well for a delicious cookie dough.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

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

Make the Cookie Dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Fold in the crushed cookies and white chocolate chips.

Shape and Bake

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Cool and Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Cookies and Cream Cookies!

Store in an airtight container for freshness.

Serving Suggestions

These Cookies and Cream Cookies are not only delicious on their own but also pair wonderfully with a variety of accompaniments. For a delightful treat, serve them with a cold glass of milk, which perfectly complements the rich flavors of the cookies. You could also offer them alongside a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.

For those who enjoy a bit of flair, consider drizzling some melted chocolate over the cookies before serving. This not only enhances their visual appeal but also adds an extra layer of chocolatey goodness that will have everyone coming back for more.

Baking Tips for Success

To ensure your Cookies and Cream Cookies turn out perfectly every time, measure your ingredients accurately. Using a kitchen scale can help you get precise measurements, especially for the flour. Additionally, make sure your butter is softened but not melted, as this will affect the texture of the cookies.

When baking, keep an eye on the cookies as they approach the end of the baking time. Every oven is different, and you want to avoid over-baking them. The cookies should be lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center when you take them out, as they will continue to set while cooling.
