Cookies & Cream Cookies are made with pudding mix and Oreo cookies for a perfectly soft and chewy cookie that is sure to be a favorite!
Cookies & Cream Cookies have become a regular treat around my house because they are just so yummy! I discovered this recipe several years ago (thanks to my sister!) and it has been a favorite of mine ever since! With Oreo pudding mix and crushed Oreo cookies, these cookies are amazing!
*Side note: Cookie recipes that include pudding always help create the soft texture we all love, but below you’ll find a few other tips for making soft cookies!
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 shortening 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!
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!)
- 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 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!

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!

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!
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.

Thank you, Rachel!
