Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, (packed)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 box (3.4 ounces) vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 2 large eggs, (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 15 Oreo cookies, (roughly crushed)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the cold unsalted butter (straight from the fridge or freezer for easier grating). Work quickly so the shreds stay cold; you should end up with fluffy, pea-sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla pudding mix until evenly combined.
  • Add the grated butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips to cut the butter in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.

Pro tips

  • For the best texture, ensure your butter is very cold when grating. If it starts to soften, pop it back in the fridge for a few minutes. This cold butter helps create pockets of steam for a tender interior.
  • Don’t overmix the dough once the wet and dry ingredients are combined; overmixing develops gluten and can lead to tough cookies.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days to maintain their freshness. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months.

These cookies and cream cookies are a fantastic way to satisfy any sweet tooth. Share them with friends, enjoy them with a glass of milk, or save them all for yourself! Happy baking!
