Cookies & Cream Cookies are made with Oreo pudding mix and crushed Oreo cookies for a perfectly soft and chewy cookie that is sure to be a favorite!
Some tips for making cookies that stay soft and chewy:
- Make sure that you have enough flour in the dough. If the dough is too sticky, you may need to add a little bit of flour.
- Spend a little extra time when you mix the butter and sugars. Creaming them together for 2-3 minutes will improve the consistency of your cookies.
- Preheat the oven. This will help your cookies turn out right every time!
- Use a cookie scoop! If you want all your cookies to be perfectly shaped and have them all be the same size, a cookie scoop is the way to go.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Doing this will make it really easy to remove the cookies from your cookie sheet so that you don’t have to scrape them off the pan – they will just slide right off in perfect shape!
- Don’t over bake the cookies – when I take mine out of the oven, they still look slightly under baked but they will continue to bake on the cookie sheet for a couple more minutes so that’s ok!
Ingredients in Cookies & Cream Cookies
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 (4.2 oz) pkg Oreo Cookies & Cream pudding mix
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)*
- 15 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed (you want big chunks!)
How to make Cookies & Cream Cookies
- Using a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars. Add the pudding mix and mix until well blended.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- Add the flour and baking soda and continue mixing.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and Oreo cookie chunks.
- Drop cookies by rounded teaspoonfuls (I use a cookie scoop) onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350. Enjoy!
*The original recipe called for white chocolate chips. I’m just not a huge fan of white chocolate chips so I usually leave them out, but you can definitely give it a try!

My “baby” is 7 and has recently had the opportunity to take golf lessons near our home. He absolutely loves golf now and my husband is especially excited to gain a golf buddy and a good excuse to “need” to go golfing more frequently! As a side note – isn’t WA beautiful?!? I had never been to WA State before we moved here 5 years ago, but I absolutely love it here and still can’t believe how many trees there are here!

I ate some of the dough it’s that good
Kaylie says
Thank you, Jennifer!
Diana Abata says
I have made these cookies and they are soooo good, People have asked for the recipe and I do not give. it just tell them this is my signature cookie. I am making for a friends wedding and I’m sure will get lots of requests for the recipe. I actually used generic oreos and they were just as good. Love this cookie
Kaylie says
Love this! Thank you, Diana!
Latisha says
Can these be frozen? If so, for how long?
Nellie says
You can freeze the cookies for up to 2 months. I actually prefer to freeze the dough into pre-scooped balls and then bake a few at time whenever my sweet tooth cravings kick in! That way you can enjoy the cookies warm and fresh from the oven!
Jennifer Kaus says
My name is Jennifer and i was wondering what if you don’t have a hand mixer?? Can u use a wooden spoon instead ??
Mel says
These were really fun to make! Liked that when you used a cookie scoop the dough actually looked like scoops of cookies and cream ice cream. I omitted the white chocolate chip pieces also because I was thinking that this recipe had a lot going on but after tasting them I think I’m going to add them next time I make them. Thanks for a great recipe!
Kaylie says
Thank you, Mel!
Jennifer says
I made these for my daughter because she’s on a HUGE cookies and cream kick right now. I couldn’t even keep them in the house for a weekend!! I used a medium cookie scoop, ave she’s eat six at a time!!! My boyfriend loved them too, which I was surprised, because he’s a pretty solid chocolate chip guy. First batch I made I only got 1 cookie!!
I did make 1 alteration to the recipe. Instead of doing a couple of whites chocolate chips I use a giant cookie and cream Hershey bar (6.5 oz) chopped up into chip sized chunks. Making them an ultimate cookie and cream cookie! Huge hit!!
Kaylie says
Love the idea of the Cookies & Cream Hershey bar addition! Thank you, Jennifer!
Laura says
I cannot find Oreo pudding mix near me. Would I be able to substitute vanilla pudding mix?
Kaylie says
Absolutely! You will probably miss out on a little bit of the cookies and cream flavor, but you could try to remedy that by adding more chopped oreos or using cookies and cream candy in place of chocolate chips. Others have made this recipe without the cookies and cream pudding, if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you’ll be able to read their comments about how they turned out.
Stacey says
Sorry if I’m missing it but I don’t see how many cookies 1 batch makes?
Ann says
I wrapped an oreo in each drop of dough before baking for a super yummy surprise inside!
Kaylie says
Love that idea! Thank you, Ann!
Rachel says
These cookies are really tasty! For all those asking, since I never saw a response, I was able to make 4 dozen cookies from this recipe. I used a small cookie scoop, which is usually around 1 tbsp of dough per cookie.
Kaylie says
Thank you, Rachel!
Walker says
I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve made these. Wherever I take them, they disappear in seconds!!!
Kaylie says
Thank you, Walker!
Mikie says
I cannot find the Oreo Cookies & Cream pudding mix at my grocery, has anyone found a good alternative?
Geri says
They were disappointing when I made at Christmas time,. I’d advise to move onto another cookie. I’ll never make again.
Cade says
I used half a pack of vanilla and half a pack of chocolate. Worked well!
Brittany says
Ordered on Amazon!
Makenzie says
Can I use self rising flour?
Suzanne says
This looks delicious, thank you for sharing!
Kaylie says
Thank you, Suzanne!
Swathi says
Hey, I was looking for an egg replacer in this recipe….
Nellie says
Not sure which egg replacer would work best in this recipe since I’ve never tried it! You could try using ground flaxseed or chia seeds or any other popular egg replacements – let me know if you experiment and find one that works well in this recipe!
Meg says
I did everything as suggested, but at the end of the day just really didn’t like these very much. I was hoping for a little more of the cookies and cream flavor, but they were a little bland. Just ok.
Allison says
I stumbled across your site and am loving these recipes as are my family and friends.
I have a diabetic friend that I wanted to bake for. Have you ever substituted Almond Flour? Is there a trick to getting the consistency right? I’m trying to use your recipes with the Almond Flour. Thanks!
Krista S says
Hello, about how many cookies does this recipe make? Don’t see that info anywhere in this post
Thanks!
Nellie says
I usually make about 36 cookies – depends on how big they are!
Yadira says
Can’t find the pudding any substitute for it?
Nellie says
You can use vanilla pudding instead and just add a few more crushed Oreos to the cookies. Won’t be quite the same, but they will still be delicious!
Anna says
I am usually a solid chocolate chip cookie person, but these sold me! They were honestly one of best cookies I had ever tasted in my life. All of the cookies I baked were eaten by my family in minutes and I even whipped up a second batch because everyone wanted more! These cookies and cream cookies are out of this world and I highly recommend them. One minor change I made to make them taste even better was substituting the white chocolate chips for chopped cookies and cream bars.
Savinna M says
Can I sub the butter for vegetable oil?
Nellie says
I have actually never swapped oil for the butter in cookie recipes, so I have no idea what will happen but it might work? Please let us know if you try it!
Kaycee says
Literally the best cookie I’ve ever made. I haven’t met a single person that hasn’t loved them and asked me for the recipe! It makes a ton and they are SOOOO yummy!
Kay says
These were super bland…the dough has more taste than the actual baked cookie. Kinda disappointed 😕
