How to Make Oreo Cookies with Vanilla Drizzle

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups crushed Oreos (plus extra Oreo pieces for topping)
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, combining until just blended. Fold in the crushed Oreos.

Step 2: Shape and Bake.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For extra crunch, press another piece of Oreo on top of each cookie. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 3: Make the Vanilla Drizzle.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and the remaining vanilla extract until smooth. If you want a thinner drizzle, add more milk as needed. Use a spoon or a piping bag to drizzle the sweet glaze over the cooled cookies.

How to Serve Oreo Cookies with Vanilla Drizzle

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be served at room temperature. You can arrange them on a plate, drizzle them with the vanilla glaze, and even add some extra crushed Oreos on top for decoration. Serve them with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage for a delightful treat.

How to Store Oreo Cookies with Vanilla Drizzle

To store these cookies, place them in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for up to one week at room temperature. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper so they don’t stick together.
