Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup crushed cookies and cream pieces (bite-sized chunks)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather and measure all ingredients, crush the cookies and cream pieces into bite-sized bits, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy to incorporate air for a perfect rise and soft texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, creating a smooth and fragrant dough base.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
  5. Fold in Cookies and Cream Pieces: Gently fold in the crushed cookies and cream chunks, distributing them evenly without breaking them down completely.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, preserving their chewy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to cream easily with sugars for fluffier dough.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender, not tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and reduce spreading.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie size and even baking.
  • Remove cookies from oven when edges look set but centers are still soft to avoid overbaking.
