How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookie Bars
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step One:
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the egg, vanilla, and softened or melted butter, then mix until smooth.
Step Two: Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies and half of the white chocolate chips. Reserve the remaining chips for the top.
Step Three: Spread about two-thirds of the batter evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan.
Step Four: Arrange whole Oreos across the batter, then drop small dollops of the remaining batter between the cookies.
Step Five: Sprinkle the top with the reserved white chocolate chips.
Step Six: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the bars are just set. They will continue to firm as they cool. Optional: melt an extra 1/4 cup white chocolate chips with a little coconut oil and drizzle over cooled bars.
Top Tip
To get fine Oreo crumbs quickly, pulse the cookies in a food processor for a few seconds.
Substitutions
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips – Swap these for the white chocolate chips if you prefer a less sweet topping.
- Cookies – Substitute different sandwich cookies or use chocolate chip cookies for a new twist.
Variations
- Peanut butter: Add a spoonful of peanut butter on top of the batter before placing the whole cookies for a rich, nutty layer.
- Milk or dark chocolate: Scatter pieces of milk or dark chocolate on top instead of white chocolate for a deeper chocolate flavor.
Equipment
You will need an 8×8-inch baking pan, a large mixing bowl (or stand mixer), and parchment paper.
Storage
Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated. They also freeze well—wrap portions individually or layer with parchment in a freezer-safe container.
Common Questions
They should be just set in the center and appear slightly soft; the bars will firm as they cool. Follow the suggested baking time and check visually toward the end of baking.
Extra Oreos can be used in other desserts, enjoyed on their own, or stored in an airtight container for later snacking.
Yes. Sprinkles, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or additional chocolate varieties all work well—customize to your taste.
