How to make it
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped chocolate sandwich cookies.
Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls (about 55 g each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these cookies and cream cookies with a glass of milk for the ultimate nostalgic treat.
How you'll know it's ready
The edges should be lightly golden and the centers just set with a soft appearance.
Convection oven? (and if you don't have one)
If using a convection oven, reduce the temperature to 325°F (160°C) and check the cookies a minute or two early, as they may bake faster.
Troubleshooting
If cookies spread too much, ensure the dough was chilled before baking.
For cookies that are too hard, check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer.
If the cookies are too soft, bake them for an additional minute or two.
Storage
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Make ahead
