Ingredients and substitutions for Cookies and Cream Cookies
- Butter: Unsalted butter is used for the cookie, but if all you have on hand is salted, that works as a fine substitute, just leave out any salt suggested in the recipe.
- Sugars: The brown sugar helps to make the cookies chewy, and superfine or caster sugar helps balance the sweetness and create the nice crunchy edge to the cookies. These make a great combination, though you could completely replace with brown sugar.
- Eggs: The room temperature egg binds and adds structure to our cookies resulting in that soft interior that compliments the sugar and butter.
- Flour: Plain or all purpose flour is best for a nice light cookie crumb.
- Baking powder: This helps our cookies rise so they are not stodgy.
- Baking soda: This helps our cookies rise alongside the baking powder avoiding a heavy dense cookie.
- Chocolate: 56% dark chocolate block was used here because it is less sweet and higher quality than baking chocolate and controls the level of sweetness in the cookies better.
- Oreos: These cookies wouldn’t be complete without authentic Oreos and that deep cocoa cookie and creamy center…crushed into the depth of the cookies and then pushed in chunks onto the top for extra crunch and flavor. Substitute with any of your favorite cream filled cookies here - make these your own!
