Top Utah lifestyle blog, Among the Young, features the most amazing Browned Butter Chewy Cookies and Cream Cookies. These are heaven in your mouth! Read on for the recipe!!
Oooookay… are you ready for these cookies and cream cookies? I don’t know if you are, because I am about to blow your socks off….
I’ve always loved Oreos (I mean – are those not the epitome of “cookies and cream?”). I love pretty much every kind of Oreo that has ever been made. So it made sense to add my favorite cookies to my favorite cookie recipe.
Cookies and Cream cookies
Did I lose you? Adding Oreos to cookies isn’t a new thing. People have been doing it since the dawn of time (or so it seems).
Several cookie shops have started selling this flavor of cookie and I have tried them all. I’m not exaggerating – I have tried all the local joints version of cookies and cream. All were FINE.
MINE IS BETTER.
WHY?
Sure sure, the argument will almost always stand that HOMEMADE COOKIES are ALWAYS better than store-bought. But this holds true for one reason alone: browned butter.
The cookies I have purchased have been soft, chewy, and really yummy…. but if the dough isn’t flavorful, the Oreo cookies and creaminess doesn’t add a whole lot to the overall flavor of the cookie. Does that make sense? What you end up with is a bland (albeit decent) cookie.
Browned Butter Cookies and Cream Cookie
Friends, the browned butter MAKES IT. It gives the dough a depth and richness. The dough, on its own, has flavor. The Oreo cookies then add the sweetness and you’re left with a delightful cookie that is out of this world amazing.
In my opinion, if the cookie dough can stand alone, it’s be a good cookie. Adding anything else to a good, stand-alone dough is totally fine because you know you have a good base.
Is your mouth watering yet? It really should be.
The key to this recipe is letting them rest in the refrigerator. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! They need time to chill, otherwise you’ll end up with flat, sad cookies. (They’ll probably still taste good though?) We’re looking for that “mounded” ice cream scoop of cookie. Oh yum!
If you liked these Browned Butter cookies, you’ll LOVE my other cookies.
