Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (white sugar)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (for leavening)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (to enhance flavor)
  • 15-20 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies (coarsely crushed)

Equipment

  • 1 large bowl — for mixing ingredients
  • 1 Baking sheet — lined with parchment paper
  • 1 whisk — for mixing dry ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon — for dropping dough

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking those delicious cookies!

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for that lovely flavor!

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This will ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want those cookies to be soft!

  6. 6

    Gently fold in the crushed sandwich cookies. This is where the magic happens, adding that cookies and cream goodness!

  7. 7

    Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers may look a bit soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

  9. 9

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious cookies and cream cookies!
