# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The combination of crushed sandwich cookies and creamy white chocolate creates that perfect cookies and cream flavor you know and love
  • These cookies stay soft and chewy for days thanks to the perfect ratio of butter to sugar
  • They come together in under 30 minutes with basic pantry ingredients
02 -
  • Overmixing the dough once you add the flour makes tough cookies, so stop as soon as you see no more dry streaks
  • Room temperature ingredients mix together better, so set your butter and egg out about 30 minutes before baking
  • These cookies continue cooking on the hot baking sheet, so pull them out when edges look slightly underdone
03 -
  • Press a few extra cookie chunks onto the tops before baking for that bakery style look
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to the dough if you want to deepen the chocolate flavor
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies with less spread
