Cookies 'n' Cream Cookies

I think that making anything cookies and cream flavor, would be delicious.  Think about it... cookies and cream ice cream... amazing!! Cookies and cream fudge... um yeah!! Cookies and cream brownies... more please!! I'm really thinking we need more cookies and cream.  Just think.... cookies and cream hot chocolate? Cookies and cream pie? Cookies and cream cake? I'm drooling just thinking of the possibilities. 

You better add this recipe to your cookie swap.  It's amazing.  I mean... crushed up Oreos within a cookie? What could be better?!  I thought of this recipe when I was thinking about my two favorite desserts to make. Oreo Balls and Chocolate Chip Cookies... I thought... "Why not combine them?" And I'm so glad I did. These cookies are so delicious and different! Definitely a crowd pleaser.  


Cookies 'n' Cream Cookies
Makes: 4 Dozen

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pkg (4.2 oz) Cookies and Cream pudding mix (you could also use white chocolate pudding mix)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped or crushed
1 cup white chocolate chips (you could sub a 5 oz Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme chocolate bar, roughly chopped... and that would be amazing as well.)

Directions:
Heat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the pudding mix and blend. Add in the eggs and mix until completely combined. Add in the vanilla.
In another bowl, combine the baking soda, flour and salt. Gradually add into the creamed mixture and mix until combined. Fold in the Oreos and white chocolate chips or Cookies 'n' Creme bar.
Form dough into tablespoon sized balls and place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes, or until golden on top.
