Mega Viral Cookies n’ Cream Cookies Recipe
Yields: approximately 13 large cookies
Cookie Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) Cold unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) Light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs, room temperature
- 2 Egg yolks, room temperature
- 3 tsp (15ml) Vanilla extract
- 4 cups (500g) All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp (8g) Cornstarch
- 1 tsp (5g) Baking powder
- 1 tsp (6g) Baking soda
- 1 tsp (6g) Salt
Mix-ins & Stuffing
- 1 1/2 cups (255g) White chocolate chips
- 2 cups (approx. 200g) Crushed Oreo cookies (for the dough)
- 12-14 Whole Oreo cookies (for stuffing the centers)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Cream: Preheat oven to 375F. In a large bowl, cream together the cold, cubed unsalted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined but still slightly textured.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the room temperature eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and pale.
3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined—be careful not to overmix!.
4. Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and the 2 cups of crushed Oreo pieces until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Stuff the Cookies: Portion out 13 4.5oz balls of dough. Flatten a dough ball, place a whole Oreo cookie in the center, and wrap the dough around it until the cookie is completely sealed inside. Optional: add extra oreo pieces on top of dough ball balls before baking for a bakery-quality aesthetic.
7. Bake: Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack. This allows them to set perfectly.
Tips for Success
• Cold Butter is Key: Using cold butter helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much, resulting in that signature thick, viral look.
• Don’t Overmix: Once you add the dry ingredients, mix only until the flour streaks disappear to keep the cookies tender.
• The Perfect Crush: Leave some Oreo pieces in larger chunks for a more dramatic look and better texture.
• Freshness Check: Ensure your baking soda and powder are fresh so your cookies get the proper lift.
Storage and Freshness
• Room Temperature: Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezing Dough: You can freeze the stuffed, unbaked dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake them directly from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes to the total bake time.
• Freezing Baked Cookies: Once completely cooled, freeze baked cookies in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm slightly in the microwave for a “just out of the oven” experience.
