Ingredient Notes
White Chocolate Pudding Mix
White chocolate pudding mix is my favorite choice for this recipe because it complements the cream filling in Oreo cookies while creating an incredibly soft and chewy texture.
Don’t have white chocolate pudding mix on hand? This recipe also works well with:
- Vanilla pudding mix for a more classic Oreo cookie flavor
- Oreo pudding mix for an even stronger cookies and cream flavor
No matter which option you choose, the pudding mix helps create thick, bakery-style cookies that stay soft longer than traditional cookie recipes.
Oreo Cookies
For the best texture, roughly chop the Oreos instead of crushing them into fine crumbs. A mixture of larger chunks and smaller pieces gives these cookies the perfect balance of flavor and texture.
White Chocolate Chips
While optional, white chocolate chips pair beautifully with the Oreo cookies and enhance the creamy cookies and cream flavor.
Baker’s Tips
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
- Reserve a few extra Oreo pieces to press onto the tops of the dough balls before baking.
- Avoid over-crushing the Oreos. Larger pieces create pockets of Oreo flavor throughout the cookies.
- Slightly underbake the cookies for the softest centers.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Oreo Cookie FAQs
