There's only one thing better than the iconic combination of cookies and cream—twice the cookies and cream! These sweet treats incorporate cookies and cream two ways in every bite.
The recipe begins with a classic vanilla-flavored sugar cookie dough. Then, roughly-chopped creme-filled sandwich cookies are mixed in. The power of the mixer breaks up the cookies even more and releases little specks of cookies and cream flavor and color throughout the dough. Next, both semi-sweet chocolate chips and white morsels are folded into this unique cookie dough. This is another way the chocolate and vanilla flavors find their way into every bite, along with some fun texture.
Cookies and cream cookies are best when enjoyed warm and fresh from the oven alongside an ice-cold glass of milk.

Is Oreo the same as cookies and cream?
Cookies and cream was originally a variety of ice cream or milkshake based on the flavor of the classic chocolate sandwich cookies, most popularly known as Nabisco's Oreo cookies. The iconic flavor combination has become a favorite sweet treat for generations.
Today, any time a dessert is called "cookies and cream," it usually refers to a treat containing Oreos or a similar creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookie. The signature speckled, black-and-white look is the sign you are about to enjoy something with a cookies-and-cream flavor combination.
Although vanilla is the most common flavor to pair with cookies and cream, there are other variations that exist where chocolate, coffee, or mint might form the base flavor. Feel free to play with the cookie dough base in this recipe to make your own unique cookies and cream cookie flavors.
