Cookies n Cream Cookies

Cookies n Cream Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of cookies and cream with the classic appeal of homemade cookies. With crushed Oreos and white chocolate chips, these cookies are soft, chewy, and utterly irresistible.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
12 Oreos, crushed
1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
5. Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
