How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies

  1. Prep. Preheat your oven, cut your cold butter into cubes, and line 2 baking sheets with either parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
  2. Mix. Place cubed butter into a large mixing bowl and mix on medium speed to break up the butter. Then add the sugar and cream and mix until combined. Continue with the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and a bit of water. Mix until all of that has combined.
  3. Add. Sprinkle in the salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar with half of the amount of flour and mix until combined. Then add the rest of the flour and mix to combine. Fold in the oreo crumbs and white chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Scoop. Using a large cookie scoop, or something to gather approximately 3 tbsp worth of dough, scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets. Gently press down a little.
  5. Bake. Bake just until the tops of the cookies are no longer wet. Keep an eye on them, as you don’t want the bottom to turn golden brown. If they do, they will no longer be soft in texture.
  6. Cool. Once baked, remove them from the oven to cool on the sheets for a bit before transferring the cookies to a wire rack.

Tips for Success

  • Be precise. Baking is a science, so it is very important to follow the recipe and ingredient amounts exactly. Use the back of a knife to level off the flour if necessary.
  • Chilling the dough is a bonus. You absolutely do not need to chill the dough and the cookies will turn out just fine without it. You can if you choose to make the dough ahead of time.
  • Oreo cream. Keep it! You don’t need to remove the middle of the oreo cookie.
  • Cold butter. Super important, especially in a no-chill recipe. When the butter is cold, it takes a longer time to melt while baking, which means the cookies won’t spread as much or as fast.
  • Non-stick. If you have a silicone baking mat, use that for a non-stick no mess situation. They’re also reusable which is great. If you don’t have one, be sure to use parchment paper instead.
  • Add extras. After scooping the dough balls out onto the baking sheet, I love to add a few extra Oreo crumbs and white chocolate chips on top. It not only makes them look extra pretty, but they’ll taste extra delicious too! You can also press a few white chocolate chips on top of the baked cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.

Storing & Freezing

If you’re lucky enough to have any leftovers, they will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days and the freezer for up to 2 months.
