Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Salted Butter Provides fat and moisture for chewiness; unsalted can be used—just adjust added salt.
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and encourages spreading; coconut sugar is a great lower glycemic alternative.
  • ½ cup Light Brown Sugar Contributes moisture and a rich caramel flavor; dark brown sugar can deepen the taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the cookie’s flavor; opt for pure vanilla extract for the best results.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds ingredients and offers structure; use room-temperature eggs for better integration.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Builds the main structure of the cookies; a gluten-free flour blend can be a substitute with adjustments.
  • 1 tablespoon Corn Starch Creates a chewy texture; arrowroot powder makes a suitable alternative.
  • ½ cup Cocoa Powder Provides rich chocolate flavor; for a deeper richness, try Dutch-processed cocoa.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent, helping cookies to rise; avoid substituting with baking powder without adjustments.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
For the Mix-ins
  • 1 cup Chopped Oreos Adds delightful texture and the signature cookies & cream flavor; Double Stuff Oreos provide extra creaminess.
  • 1 cup Chopped Hershey's Cookies 'N' Cream Bars Contributes creamy texture and additional sweetness; any cookies & cream chocolate bar can be used as a substitute.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a stand mixer, combine 1 cup of melted salted butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup light brown sugar. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and mix well.
  2. Add 2 room-temperature eggs to the mixture and mix on low speed until just combined, ensuring the batter looks glossy and smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, ½ cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully integrated, about 1-2 minutes on low speed.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in 1 cup of chopped Oreos and 1 cup of chopped Hershey's Cookies 'N' Cream bars until evenly distributed.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and place the balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough is chilled, bake for 9-10 minutes. The edges should be set while centers remain soft.
  7. Optionally, after removing from the oven, gently press a few extra chopped Oreos and Hershey’s pieces on top while still warm.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
