Of all the recipes to end my new years resolution (I actually made these about three weeks ago) I’m glad it was these cookies. They were worth it; so much so that I had to make another batch after the first one was gone! The white chocolate chips in this recipe really add that “cream” flavor to these cookies! I found this recipe through Six Sisters’ Stuff, and if you don’t already follow them on Pinterest, you should! Their recipes are amazing!

I wouldn’t change a thing about this recipe and so I’m going to follow it word for word from the original. To recap the recipe, you will need:

  • 2 1/4 C. flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 c. butter (softened)
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 c. white sugar
  • 1 (4.2 oz.) pkg. Cookies n’ Cream pudding mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 c. white chocolate chips (1 bag)
  • 15 Oreo cookies, very coarsely chopped

Makes 3 dozen cookies.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugars, adding the pudding mix until well blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda with a whisk, then add it to the butter mixture. Stir in the white chocolate chips and Oreo cookies.
  3. Drop cookies onto a greased baking sheet by rounded spoonfuls. Bake for 10 minutes or until very lightly golden at the top.

Also, just food for thought, but some other similar recipes on Pinterest that I found looked pretty good too, so I’ll provide the links here:

Some of you may have seen a pin of a chocolate chip cookie with an Oreo at the center. I decided to recreate this cookie, but cheat a little. I bought the new snack size Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix along with bite size Oreos. This way, since they seemed to be a rich dessert, I could test them out without having more than I can eat (plus they were on sale for a dollar each, so it was a $2 dessert! Can’t beat that!).

Here are the steps to making mini Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies!

Makes 8 big cookies.

Prep time: 5 mins.

Bake time: 13 mins.

1. Make cookie mix as directed.

2. Scoop cookie dough out and flatten (I used my fingers). Put an Oreo in the center of the cookie dough.

3. Take another scoop of cookie dough and put it on top of the first scoop with the Oreo, and then mold the top of the cookie dough to the bottom so it completely covers the Oreo.

4. Afterwards, stick in the oven as directed. The package instructed me to leave the cookies in the oven for 10 minutes, but I left it for an extra 3 because the cookies were about double the size that they were supposed to be on the package. Make sure to let them cool afterwards, and Viola! You have a super-easy but delicious cookie! They came out fairly large, so I can only imagine how the regular sized ones must be!

Enjoy & happy baking!
