🧑🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions.
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
Mix the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a mixing dish.. Set aside.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars
In a separate bowl, beat the soft butter with brown sugar and white sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color (about 2–3 minutes).
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Mix in one egg, one egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry
Add the dry components to the wet mixture gradually.. Mix just until combined—don’t overwork the dough.
Step 5: Add the Mix-ins
Add crumbled Oreos, white chocolate chips, and semi-sweet chocolate chips and fold gently.. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
🔥 Baking Instructions.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop cookie dough (2½–3 tbsp per cookie) and place on the sheet, spaced apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the center appears firm but still soft and the sides are golden brown..
Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 10–15 minutes. This step is important—they will continue to firm up!
📦 Storage & Freezing
At room temperature:.’
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
To freeze: Portion cookie dough into balls, freeze on a tray for 2 hours, then transfer to a zip-lock bag. Bake from frozen at 325°F for 13–15 minutes.
📋 Tips for Success’
Don’t skip the cornstarch! It makes the cookies softer and chewier.
Use room-temperature butter – cold butter won’t mix properly, and melted butter will make the cookies spread too much.
Don’t overbake – the centers should look soft when you take them out; they’ll finish cooking on the tray.
Use good quality chocolate – it really makes a difference in flavor.
❤️ A Cookie That Feels Like Home.
These Cookies & Cream Chocolate Cookies are more than just a treat—they’re a little piece of joy. Whether you’re making them for your kids, guests, or yourself after a long day, they deliver comfort with every bite. I always recommend keeping a batch of cookie dough in the freezer. That way, a fresh homemade cookie is never more than 15 minutes away. 🍪✨
