How do you make cookies and cream cookies? (Step-by-step)
⭐ First, cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar slowly, scraping down the sides as needed. Add egg and vanilla.
⭐ Next, whisk together the baking powder and flour. Add to wet mix, then add in the crushed cookies.

Preparation
Can you make the cookies and cream cookie dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare it a day in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator, or it can be made several weeks in advance and stored in the freezer.
What’s the best way to crush Oreo cookies?
I like to chop mine on a cutting board with a large knife. Or if you want to keep kids busy, try adding the Oreos to a sandwich bag and letting the little ones at it with a rolling pin!
How do I make my cookies soft?
Make sure you pull the cookies out of the oven as soon as they’re set – they are done when they no longer look wet.
Why are my cookies and cream cookies flat?
It is important that the cookies are fully chilled before baking, otherwise they will spread and be flat. Also, make sure your baking powder is not expired!
Chill the dough before scooping it onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Storage & leftovers
How long do cookies and cream cookies last?
These cookies will last 3 – 4 days at room temperature, or up to a week stored in the refrigerator.
Can you freeze cookies and cream cookies?
The cookies can be frozen for several months. Make sure they cool completely before freezing, and store in an airtight, freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight at room temp.
Cookies will spread if not chilled long enough.
What to eat with cookies and cream cookies (serving suggestions)
I love these as an after-lunch treat. Maybe after a bowl of vegetable chow mein, tortellini soup, or ham and cheese croissant roll ups. Making them as Christmas cookies? How about some Christmas tree cupcakes and peppermint brownies too?!
Take them out of the oven as soon as they no longer look wet.

So soft and yummy! We enjoyed every bite. With the cream cheese, do they need to be refrigerated after their baked?
