COOKIES AND CREAM COOKIES
Who doesn’t crave a cookie that’s basically a party in your mouth? These double stuffed white chocolate Oreo cookies are the epitome of over-the-top indulgence. Imagine pillowy-soft cookie dough made extra luscious by whipped cream cheese, studded with melty white chocolate chips, and bursting at the seams with Oreo chunks. If dessert had a VIP section, these babies would be front and center, velvet rope and all.
Whether you’re a seasoned cookie connoisseur or a rookie baker who still thinks “creaming butter” sounds like spa treatment, you’re in for a treat. The cream cheese gives the dough a luxurious tang and extra tenderness, while the Oreo bits deliver that signature crunch and swirl of chocolate wafer. You’ll nail perfect edges, gooey centers, and a texture so dreamy you’ll wonder why you ever settled for basic chocolate chip.
By the end of this post, you’ll have everything you need to bake a batch that’ll turn your kitchen into the hottest dessert destination in town. Grab your mixer, dust off your cookie sheets, and let’s dive headfirst into this Oreo-infused cookie extravaganza
lou lou girls tip:
- I always, always bake my cookies on a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone sheet for easy cleanup — It helps you with your perfect cookie!
- If you’re not going to be able to eat all this goodness, freeze extra baked goods in gallon freezer bags — you can squeeze them in any extra corner of your freezer and they only take up as much room as what’s inside!
Cookies and Cream Cookies
- 2 and 1/4 cups flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 and 1/4 cups roughly chopped Oreos (regular or Double Stuff)
Directions
-
- Whisk the dry ingredients.
-
- In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until fully blended. Set aside.
- Cream the dairy duo.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat whipped cream cheese and butter on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy—about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl halfway through for an even mix.
- Sweeten and flavor.
- Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the creamed mixture. Beat on medium-high speed until light, fluffy, and homogenous, about 2 more minutes. Then crack in the egg and pour the vanilla; beat on high until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Combine wet and dry.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients. Beat just until no streaks of flour remain—overmixing equals tough cookies, and we’re here for tender treats.
- Fold in the goodies.
- With the mixer still on low, toss in the white chocolate chips. Then switch to a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold in the chopped Oreos until everything’s evenly distributed—you want pockets of cream filling and wafer in every bite.
- Chill (optional but recommended).
- For thicker, bakery-style cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This prevents excessive spreading and intensifies flavor.
- Preheat and prepare.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Scoop and bake.
- Use a cookie scoop or two heaping tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place dough balls 3 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Bake 12–13 minutes, until the edges turn light golden brown but the centers still look soft.
- Cool to perfection.
- Remove trays from the oven and let cookies cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The centers will set as they cool, giving you that perfect chewy texture.

Cooking Tips
- Let ingredients reach room temperature. This ensures even mixing and consistent texture.
- Don’t skimp on the chill. Chilled dough equals thicker cookies with gooey centers and golden edges.
- Use parchment or silicone mats. They prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Rotate your pans. Halfway through baking, switch front to back for flawless bake color.
- Test batch first. Bake 2 cookies to gauge spread. If they flatline, refrigerate remaining dough longer.
- Store smart. Keep cooled cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to retain softness.

Recipe Variations
Feel like shaking things up? Here are some gateway twists to level up your cookie game:
- Brown Butter Bliss: Brown the butter until nutty, then cool slightly before creaming with the cream cheese for deep, toasty flavor.
- Chocolate-Chocolate Dream: Swap white chocolate chips for semi-sweet or dark chocolate for an extra cocoa kick.
- Mint Oreo Magic: Use mint-flavored Oreos and add ½ teaspoon peppermint extract for a festive mint-chocolate mash-up.
- Peanut Butter Swirl: Drop 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter into the dough after mixing for melty pockets of PB goodness.
- Salted Caramel Crunch: Gently fold in ½ cup caramel bits and sprinkle flaky sea salt atop each dough mound before baking.
