Cookies and Cream Cookies
Cookies and Cream Cookies, this cookie recipe is a chocolate and cookie lovers dream! Made using real chunks of Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme bars and crushed Oreo cookies this is a sweet treat that's easy to make, extra soft and chewy with a nice crunch from the cookies! I suggest doubling up on the recipe because it's just that good. Serve as a dessert or sweet snack!
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
- 1/2 cup Granulated White Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs room temperature, whisked
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 5-6 Full-Sized Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme Bars broken into smaller pieces
- 12 Oreo Cookies crushed but leaving some chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl using an electric hand or stand mixer beat together softened butter, granulated white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed about 2 minutes. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until combined for about another minute.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients on low speed until dough is formed and all ingredients combined, about 30 seconds to a minute; do not overmix your dough. Gently fold in Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme pieces and crushed Oreo cookies with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Cover and chill the dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, roll cookie dough into heaping one tablespoons of dough per cookie - they won't be smooth. Place on baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 - 11 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides; the centers will look very soft and fluffy however will flatten and firm once cooled.
Notes
Underbake Cookies they should be slightly underbaked when coming out of the oven. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet where residual heat will finish baking them. // Cornstarch helps to keep cookies extra soft. When combined with flour, cornstarch is said to soften the harsh proteins in flour, making baked goods like cookies and cakes more tender and soft. Feel free to omit if you don't have any on hand, cookies will still be soft.
