Cookies and Cream Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies or any cookies and cream sandwich cookies
For the Cookies and Cream Frosting:
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup finely crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
Step 2: Bake the Cookies
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 1012 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3: Make the Frosting
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy.
Fold in the finely crushed Oreo cookies.
Step 4: Assemble the Cookies
Once the cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe a generous layer of cookies and cream frosting onto each cookie.
For extra flair, sprinkle a few additional crushed Oreos on top.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve these indulgent cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Perfect with a glass of milk or on their own!
These Cookies and Cream Cookies are the perfect treat for Oreo lovers. Soft, sweet, and packed with creamy frosting goodness!
