These cookies are ah-may-zing! My coworkers will attest to that, for sure. They’ve always been my guinea pigs, which I’m grateful for. (I think they are too.) But these cookies and cream cookies are an all-time staple because they’re just so. good.

They’re super soft with just the slightest chew at the edges. Chock full of cookies and cream flavor courtesy of both oreos themselves and a secret second flavor bomb–cookies and cream pudding mix. When you find the pudding mix get two–or eight–because I promise you’ll want to make this recipe again.

I love that this recipe for cookies and cream cookies makes a big batch. It’s a good thing too, because because my husband claims that the cookie dough is straight up the best cookie dough to eat straight from the bowl. One time I froze unbaked cookie dough balls to make at a later date…and they did not make it to that date. The cookies and cream cookie dough balls just “happened” to disappear…

One of the things I love about this recipe is that I’ve never had a flop. Obviously, follow the directions for best results, but really, at the end of the day, dump everything in a bowl and mix it up and you get delicious, pillowy, soft cookies and cream cookies every time. There’s only one obscure ingredient: cookies and cream pudding mix. It is non-negotiable. It’s where that extra oomph of cookies and cream flavor comes from.

But of course, in addition to the cookies and cream pudding mix, we still have to add in extra chopped up oreos. You can pick your favorite type of oreos. I’ve used regular oreos, and reduced fat. You can use gluten-free oreos, but note the cookies contained in the pudding mix are not gluten-free, so this is not a gluten-free recipe. I have tried using flavored oreos like mint, but the flavors seem to get lost, so I would stick to traditional cookies and cream oreos.

I definitely have to thank Janessa from Notes from Nessa for inspiring these cookies. I love that they’re both a classic flavor that goes over well with crowds, while being a bit different and exotic. They’re perfect for a bake sale, or a thank you gift to someone! Just make sure to keep a few cookies and cream cookies for yourself. Quality control right?

These cookies are meant to be soft. So when you remove them from the oven, you might think they look a little under-done. But I promise when they’re just barely brown at the edge and very barely jiggly in the middle they’re the perfect done-ness. They will firm up as they cool, and still retain that softness that make these so deliciousness.

Take note when it comes to storage. Because the cookies are soft, they can stick together if you just pile them on top of each other. Not that giant, fused, humongo cookies and cream cookies are exactly a “problem”–somehow I manage to eat the evidence when it happens. But to keep them separate, I recommend a piece of parchment paper to separate the layers to keep them from sticking. I will frequently just re-use the parchment paper I use on the baking sheets while baking the cookies. Just trim it up a little to fit in your tupperware.

Let me know what you think of these cookies and cream cookies! Like I said, they’re one of my favorite recipes. Easy, simple, and I always stock up on cookies and cream pudding mix so that I can make them at any time.
