Chocolate Chip Cookies & Cream Cookies – Recipe Review – Inside BruCrew Life

November 29, 2016

I have the weekends off, and I have been trying to do more cooking and baking – I cook dinner at least one of the nights, and bake something for the weekend. This past weekend, I received a request from my boyfriend Todd for some cookies with white chocolate chips in them. I turned to Pinterest, and came across these Chocolate Chip Cookies and Cream Cookies from Jocelyn of Inside BruCrew Life. If you haven’t checked out her blog – you need to! She has so many delicious looking and easy recipes, you will have trouble deciding where to start! I have been following her for a couple years now, and should have turned there first. I will be making some fudge here soon, and definitely coming back to some of her recipes, because these cookies were easy and quick to make, and a big hit with Todd and the family, AND I had some Oreo’s left to munch on while I waited for the cookies to bake and cool 🙂


12.03.16 UPDATE: We still had a few straggelers, and even a week later when I had the last couple, they were still soft and delicious!

Yields:
     24 Cookies

Time Spent:
     Prep: The first half up to sticking the dough into the fridge took me about 20 minutes, then I waited on it for half an hour, worked up my balls in about 20 minutes and then popped in the oven.
     Bake: 22 minutes
     Cooling: 2 hours, 6 minutes
     Total: Nearly 3 hours, 45 minutes

Ingredients:
     – 1 Vanilla Cake Mix – I used Betty Crocker’s French Vanilla Cake Mix
     – 8 tablespoons of butter, melted – I used a whole stick of Country Crock
     – 1 egg – mine was medium sized
     – 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
     – 4 oz of cream cheese, softened – I used half an 8 oz box of Great Value
     – 2 cups of Oreo cookie chunks
     – 1/2 cup chocolate chips – I used Nestle’s
     – 1/2 cup white chocolate chips – I used Nestle’s

**All ingredients were easily found at my local Walmart – not a sponsored post.

You’ll Also Need:
     – Spatula
     – Mixing Bowl 
     – Baking Sheet
     – Measuring Cup
     – Cooling Rack – I found a 3-Tier Cooling Rack at my local Sav-a-Lot for $7
     – Chocolate Chip Cookies and Cream Cookie Recipe by Inside BruCrew Life

Recipe Notes: 
     I combined my cream cheese and stick of butter in the mixing bowl first, and popped it in the microwave for a couple rounds of 15 seconds. This helped to soften them up for the combining.

When it came to the Oreo’s, I found that 8 cookies makes 1 cup. I did 8 at a time in my measuring cup, and used a spoon to break them into chunks and semi crush. 

I rolled my balls to be about 2″, and baked for the given time. I found that my first batch definitely didn’t take the shape they were supposed to, so I baked my second batch for 11 minutes (even though the recipe says not to over bake), and they came out perfectly to taste and shape.

In between batches, I put my dough back into the fridge. It definitely gave the dough a nice, solid feel so rolling was quick and easy, and not a big mess.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
