If soft, tasty, decadent cookies are your thing, then making these cookies and cream cookies are a must! The only problem you’ll have will be stopping yourself from eating them all!
Cookies and Cream Cookies

Anything cookies and cream is my favorite! Cookies and with oreo cookies in the dough, well that’s just heaven on earth. Just another reason this recipe using oreo cookies needs to go on your MUST make list.  

If you have looked for cookies and cream cookies on Pinterest, you will find ours to be the top one! That’s because everyone loves these cookies and cream cookies with pudding mix in it. Trying to be modest, but, if Pinterest thinks these cookies are awesome, who are we to deny it?

While this cookies and cream recipe is fantastic, it is not our only amazing cookie recipe using pudding. You need to make sure you take a look at our butterscotch chocolate chip pudding cookies, peanut butter cup pudding cookies, and of course our chocolate chip pudding cookies. 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MAKE THE BEST COOKIES AND CREAM COOKES

KITCHEN TOOLS:

  1. Whisk
  2. Spatula
  3. Large mixing bowl
  4. Medium mixing bowl
  5. Cookie sheet(s)
  6. Non-stick cooking spray
  7. Hand or stand mixer (THIS hand mixer is wonderful)
  8. Spoon (or you can use THIS cookie scoop for uniform sized cookies)

The cookie scoop is a good addition to your kitchen as it can help you make cookies the same size. This allows the cookies to bake evenly rather than having some overbaked and some underbaked. 

Cookies and cream cookies ingredients:

  • Flour
  • Baking soda
  • Butter
  • Packed brown sugar
  • White sugar
  • Cookies ‘n Creme pudding mix package
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • White chocolate chips
  • Oreo cookies

While you are getting ready to prepare these cookies, take a look at these tips:

  1. The key to making these cookies so soft and flavorful is the Cookies and Cream Pudding mix. You don’t prepare the pudding as directed on the package, but you just add the dry mix into the dough. 
  2. If your grocery store doesn’t have cookies and cream pudding, you can substitute Vanilla pudding.
  3. Make sure that it’s instant pudding, not the cook and serve type!

If you can’t find the cookies and cream pudding you can always try your hand at making your own instant vanilla pudding mix to use instead as well!

PREPARE THE DELICIOUS COOKIES AND CREAM COOKIES 

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Then you will need to crush up the oreo cookies. I like to do this by placing the Oreos in a ziplock bag and smashing the cookies with a rolling pin. You don’t need these to be crumbs, just broken up into pieces.  

Then grab the large mixing bowl and add in the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together until completely incorporated. Once that is finished, add in the pudding mix and continue to blend it together until well incorporated.

Then, add in the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar and pudding mixture. Beat them together and then set it aside. 

Now, in a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking soda together.

Then with a whisk gently add the dry ingredients into the large mixing bowl with the sugar and pudding mixture. Combine everything together until mixed completely. 

Then, you just have to add in the white chocolate chips and Oreo cookie chunks and stir it is together until they are dispersed evenly throughout the dough. 

On a greased cookie sheet, drop a rounded spoonful of the cookie dough and continue doing this until the sheet is full and the dough is gone. 

You could also use parchment paper if you’d prefer. Both options work great.

Simply place the cookie sheet into the oven and bake the cookies and cream cookie dough for 10 minutes in a preheated oven. You’ll know they are done when they have a touch of brown. 

Be sure not to over bake the cookies to keep them nice and soft!

MORE COOKIES AND CREAM?

Remember how I said cookies and cream anything is my favorite? Well, I have another amazing recipe that you can WATCH how to make it on our YouTube channel! These simple and appetizing cookies and cream pretzels have the perfect balance of salty and sweet.

    I guess I'm the minority here. I love oreo cookies and the recipe made me drool so I gave these a shot. They were good but not great or to die for. They we soft which was appealing to me but that's all the good I can say about them. They aren't pretty to look at either. My DH referred to them as "ashtray cookies". Thank you for the recipe though! It was worth a try. :)

    @Anonymous- I am not sure how to describe these cookies . . . they are incredibly soft (from the pudding) . . . maybe more like a puffy kind?

    @Kandy- I am so sorry that I missed your question! To be honest, I can't remember if it's instant or cook and serve. I know that at my grocery store, there was only one box of cookies and cream pudding, so that is what I used. I want to say that it's instant. Next time I am at the grocery store, I will double check!
    Have a Merry Christmas!

    I've made these a couple times now and I think the key is to use vanilla pudding mix. It adds more sweetness that pushes them over the edge! It also helps to make them really big so they come out more chewy than crisp.

    It has been raining all weekend so I decided to make these cookies and they were delicious! Nice and fluffy. I used 1 row of Oreo cookies from the package at the advice of another commenter and they still turned out fine in my opinion! I could probably eat all of the cookies today if it keeps raining!

      Note: I added the dry pudding mix to the creamed butter/sugar mix as mentioned below. 1 row of Oreo cookies is 13 cookies.

    Made these yesterday but made my own changes.
    1. Used dark chocolate instead of white chocolate chips. Let's face it, dark chocolate is just better.
    2. Used 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt. Made it creamy and healthier.
    3. Good luck finding cookies and cream pudding mix. I used cheesecake and it was awesome.

    Thanks!

        These cookies are so good! I was a little nervous because the dough was very dry and clumpy (I think my butter needed to be softer) but they still taste amazing. They taste just like a Hershey’s Cookies and Cream candy bar...yummy!

    I am so bummed. I was so excited to make these cookies since my friend had brought some over. I searched high and low for the pudding mix and finally found it. I mixed up the dough, put in the first bat h and realized they weren't spreading at all. then I realize I was supposed to make the pudding mix. I'm very disappointed the directions weren't clear with this step. I tried to salvage the dough by adding the milk after but it was a total loss. ugh

      No, don't make the pudding! There are enough wet ingredients in this recipe for cookies, by adding milk you are making a batter-like texture and won't bake/spread right.

      You should be ok to chill the dough. Be sure it's covered well in an airtight container. You may want to set it out at room temp for about 30 minutes before cooking. Thanks so much for stopping by our blog!! Good luck feeding the crowd!! :)

Unfortunately we had to use the Vanilla pudding dry mix, but honestly these were the best darn cookies I've ever made, thanks to you. I ended up freezing a dozen, for moderation - LOL. @ the "Anonymous " user who referenced these looking like "ashtray" cookies, didn't your mama teach you that if you can't say something nice....don't say it? Kind of a crass unthoughtful comment. I made these just as written and they were beautiful, liked just like the first 2 pictures! These will be my go to cookies from now on. Yummmm! ?

    PSA ALERT: BEST COOKIES I HAVE EVER MADE. BEST ANYTHING I HAVE EVER MADE OR EATEN. I am not joking. These are the best things I have ever eaten. My favorite food. I have made them countless times and have never had a bad batch. I am in high school and started making them in 7th grade. You cannot mess up this recipe. My friends beg me to make them at every event! I gave someone the left over cookie dough once and they cried. I’m not messing around. Hands down best things on earth. If ur skeptical, don’t be. PLEASE MAKE THESE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO IT. I don’t care if you have to spend $20 at the food store. Do it. Make them. Eat them.

I also only added 3 cups of white chocolate chips instead of 4 cups. They were amazing and definitely sweet enough with a great texture!! I will absolutely make them again. Thank you!

      Hi Maddie. We have not made the dough and frozen it. I'm not sure if the Oreos would turn soft after freezing and then thawing. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you. I can't imagine it being that soft because when you cook the dough it would set up the Oreo chunks again. Let us know if you give it a try. Have a safe week.
