- Remove the bowl from the stand and gently fold in the chopped Oreos and Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Cream candy bars using a rubber spatula.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a medium-sized cookie dough scoop (around 2-2.5 tablespoons of dough) to form 20 evenly sized cookies. Pop the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the dough chill, enhancing the flavor and preventing excessive spreading.
- Time to preheat the oven to 350°F!
- Once the dough has chilled, place the cookies about 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are just set.
- For an extra touch, gently press a few pieces of Oreo and candy bars into the top of each cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring them to a cookie rack to cool completely.
- Get ready to indulge in the irresistible goodness of these cookies & cream delights – your taste buds will thank you!
