- 2 large eggs

Instructions
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine the Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Everything
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and white chocolate chips.
Bake the Cookies
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Baking Tips for Success
To ensure that your Cookies and Cream Cookies turn out perfect every time, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Using a kitchen scale can help you achieve the precise amounts for the best texture and flavor. Additionally, avoid overmixing once the dry ingredients are added to the wet ingredients. Mixing just until combined will help maintain the cookies’ soft, chewy texture.
Another tip is to allow your dough to rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This allows the flour to hydrate and the flavors to meld, resulting in a richer taste and better texture. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but resting can elevate your cookies to the next level.
Customization Ideas
Feel free to get creative with this recipe! If you want to explore different flavor combinations, consider adding your favorite nuts or swapping out the white chocolate chips for dark or milk chocolate. You could also incorporate other types of crushed cookies to create unique variations, such as adding mint chocolate or peanut butter cookies for an exciting twist.
For a festive touch, add some colorful sprinkles or crushed candy canes during the holiday season. This not only enhances the flavor but also makes your Cookies and Cream Cookies visually appealing. The possibilities are endless, so don’t hesitate to adapt the recipe to your tastes!
