Tips & Variations

  • For extra crunch, toast the crushed Oreos lightly before folding them into the dough.
  • Substitute white chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.

Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep them soft, place a slice of bread in the container which helps maintain moisture. Reheat briefly in a microwave for a warm, freshly baked taste.

FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of the Cookies & Cream pudding mix?

Yes, regular Oreos can be used, but the pudding mix adds extra flavor and moisture to the cookies. You may need to adjust the dry ingredients slightly if omitting the pudding mix.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Absolutely! Shape the dough into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

Notes
