Cookies ‘n’ Cream Cookies
That’s right. Cookies….with cookies. I had a craving for something cookies ‘n’ cream and decided to make a cookie with Oreos mixed in. I used my favorite chewy cookie recipe as a base and threw in some chopped Oreos. The result? A chewy cookie with crunchy Oreos bits. Amazing.
I made both regular and chocolate versions of these cookies. I threw in a few chocolate chips with the chocolate dough for some extra decadence. I even ate some for breakfast one day. When my husband asked why I was nibbling on a cookie for breakfast, I made the excuse that I was “carb loading” before my morning workout. Because, you know, I really need to load up on all the carbs I can get for my strenuous workout…..which is really only running for 30 minutes. Oh well.
Cookies 'n' Cream Cookies
Makes 2 1/2 dozen
Adapted from Alton BrownIngredients:
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups chopped OreosDirections:
Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat (or the microwave, which I think is quicker). Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
Pour the melted butter in the mixer’s work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar. Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the cookies.
Chill the dough for 1 to 1 1/2 hours (or overnight if you want), then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
To make chocolate cookies: Use only 2 cups of flour and add 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Mix in a 1/2 cup chocolate chips along with the cookies.

Cookies INSIDE cookies? Oh my!! Talk about decadent. The possibilities are endless — Oooh, how about cake within cake next time? Or pie inside pie? I can see a great cookbook emerging from all of this.

Thanks for the recipe! Found you via Google (it was super hard to find a cookies n cream cookie recipe) and the cookies are delicious. I used regular all-purpose flour and looks like they flattened a little more than yours.

This is how mine turned out. I modified the recipe so instead of crushing the cookies I ground them into a powder and stirred them in. I also made frosting with vegan butter/powdered sugar/soy milk/vanilla to use as an interior for the cookies
Other modifications were done to make the cookies entirely vegan-friendly. Meeting up with a friend of mine from school this weekend who is a Vegan and rarely gets to have desserts. Fortunately enough, regular oreoes are vegan-friendly as well so it turned out to be a great recipe!
Thanks!
