Cookies and Cream Cookies

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 2 1/4 cups crushed Oreos (about 20 cookies)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chunks

Make the Cookie Dough

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, kosher salt, and espresso powder.

In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the dark brown sugar and cane sugar until they’re completely combined. Add the egg and vanilla bean paste and whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold with a spatula until a dough just starts to form.

Toss in the crushed Oreos and chocolate chunks and fold until they’re evenly mixed throughout the dough.

Chill and Bake the Cookies

Cover the dough and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

When you’ve got about 5 minutes left on the chill time, get your oven preheating to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

You can make these large or small. For large, bakery-style cookies, use about 3 tablespoons of dough for each one. For smaller cookies, use about 1 1/2 tablespoons.

Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, leaving a good 3-4 inches of space between them so they have room to spread.

For the large cookies, bake for 14-15 minutes. For smaller ones, bake for 9-11 minutes. The edges should be set and lightly golden.

Let the cookies cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before you move them to a wire rack.

This is a straightforward cookie recipe that gets its chewy texture from a melted butter base. It’s absolutely packed with crushed Oreos and chocolate chunks, so you get that classic cookies and cream flavor in every bite.
