Cream Cheese Oreo Cookie, Cookies
Overview
Cookies and Cream just remind me of childhood.
There is just something so nostalgiac about cookies and cream. As a kid, I loved to dunk my oreos in milk; twisting them apart first, of course! I have always loved the creamy filling in oreos!
My kids also love oreos, so much so I bought a huge bulk size box of them at BJ’s. But now we have so many, it’s a little ridiculous. So I thought to myself…let’s make some cookies.
I wanted to create a cookie that was chewy, and almost like cookie dough in texture, but with crushed oreos in it to get that cookies and cream flavor.
These got a 10/10 from my kid taste testers!
Makes anywhere between 24-36 cookies, depending on the size of cookie you choose to make!

Whisk together the flour, starch, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter and mix until fluffy and light, a couple minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Next, add the cream cheese to the butter and mix until the butter and cream cheese is nice and fluffy, another few minutes.
Slowly add the sugars and then the egg and vanilla Mix until combined.
