Ingredients You’ll Need

1 cup unsalted butter, softened: This is the foundation of your cookie’s rich flavor. Make sure it’s at room temperature for easy creaming.
1 cup sugar: Adds sweetness and helps create that lovely chewy texture.
2 eggs: Essential for binding the ingredients together; room temperature eggs mix better into the batter.
2 teaspoons vanilla: Pure vanilla extract infuses the cookies with a warm, aromatic flavor. Use quality vanilla for the best taste.
3 cups all-purpose flour: Provides structure to the cookies. Avoid packing it tightly in your measuring cup for accurate results.
2 teaspoons baking powder: Acts as a leavening agent, giving the cookies their lift and lightness.
1 teaspoon salt: Balances sweetness and enhances the cookie flavor.
10 Oreos, crushed: The star ingredient that delivers the distinctive cookies and cream flavor.
½ cup unsalted butter, softened: Used for the frosting to add richness.
3 cups powdered sugar: Provides sweetness and a thick texture to the frosting.
1 teaspoon vanilla: Adds flavor, perfectly complementing the richness of the frosting.
½ teaspoon salt: A pinch of salt brings out the sweet flavors in the frosting.
3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream: Adjusts the frosting’s consistency to make it spreadable.
6 Oreos: Whole cookies used to decorate the tops, delivering that classic cookie experience.
Crushed mini Oreos: For additional fun and a sprinkle of cuteness on top!

How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a few baking sheets with parchment paper—this will prevent your cookies from sticking.
Mix Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of sugar together until light and creamy. This usually takes about 2–3 minutes.
Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add in 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing well until everything is fully combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix the dry ingredients in on low speed, scraping down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.
Fold in Oreos: Once your dough is formed, gently fold in 10 crushed Oreos, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Scoop the Dough: Use a large ice cream scoop to portion the cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them a couple of inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies for approximately 10 minutes, or until the centers are just set. They might look a bit underdone when removed from the oven, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting. This will ensure your frosting doesn’t melt off!
Make the Frosting: In your stand mixer bowl, combine ½ cup of softened unsalted butter with about half of the 3 cups of powdered sugar. Mix on low speed until incorporated, then add 3 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream, ½ teaspoon of salt, and the remaining powdered sugar. Increase the speed and whip until smooth.
Add Crushed Oreos: Carefully fold in some crushed Oreos to your frosting mixture before spreading.
Frost the Cookies: Spread a thin layer of the creamy frosting over each cooled cookie. Finally, gently press a mini Oreo into the center of each cookie for that perfect finishing touch.

Storing & Reheating

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want them to last longer, place them in the refrigerator, where they can stay fresh for about a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies for up to 3 months. Just wrap them well to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, pop them into the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to warm them up, or microwave for a few seconds. Keep in mind that the frosting will lose its original texture, but the flavor remains delightful.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Butter Temperature: Ensure your butter is softened adequately for easy mixing. If it’s too cold, the dough won’t come together smoothly.
Don’t Overbake: Be cautious not to overbake your cookies; they should have a slight softness in the center when you take them out, which will firm up as they cool.
Measuring Flour: Use the spoon and level method to measure flour correctly; this helps avoid dense cookies due to too much flour.
Customize the Oreos: Feel free to experiment with different Oreo flavors for a fun twist, like mint or peanut butter!
Thicker Frosting: If your frosting looks too thin, add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.

These Crumbl Copycat Cookies and Cream Milkshake Cookies are not just the ultimate treat; they offer the perfect balance of nostalgia and indulgence that everyone can appreciate. The delightful combination of flavors and textures creates an experience that will have your taste buds dancing with joy. Don’t hesitate to share these with friends and family—they’re sure to be a hit during any gathering or simply as a comforting evening snack.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

Yes, margarine can be used as a substitute, but it may slightly alter the flavor and texture of your cookies. For the best results, stick with unsalted butter if possible.

How can I make the cookies thicker?

If you prefer your cookies to be thicker, try chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This will prevent spreading and help them maintain a taller shape.

Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the dough in advance and freeze it for later. Just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before baking.

What should I do if my frosting is too runny?

If your frosting is too runny, simply add more powdered sugar gradually until you achieve your desired consistency. This will help it hold its shape better on the cookies.
