Ingredients

Scale

125g Margarine

100g Light Brown Sugar

50g Caster Sugar

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Egg

310g Plain Flour

1 and 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder

1/2 Tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

100g White Chocolate Chips

1 Jar of Cookies and Cream Spread

2 x Packs of Oreos (154g each)

Instructions

1. Firstly, take out a medium sized plate and place a piece of baking paper on top.

2. Add 8 balls of Cookies and Cream Spread onto the plate (use the photo provided as a guide for the size of each ball). Then add your balls of spread to the freezer until needed.

3. Next, move on to making the cookie dough. Add the margarine and both sugars into your mixing bowl, then combine them together by hand or with an electric mixer until smooth.

4. Add in the vanilla extract at this stage.

5. Next, add in your egg and mix again until it has been incorporated. It doesn’t matter if the mixture looks curdled at this stage.

6. Pour in your sifted flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Then mix again until a dough has formed. You should be able to pick up your dough easily and it should not be sticky.

7. Add your white chocolate chips and 4 chopped up Oreos to the dough, then mix again to combine.

8. Once you have created your dough, retrieve your balls of spread from the freezer.

9. Portion the dough into 8 balls and flatten each one. Place a ball of frozen spread in the centre of each flattened cookie, then add 1 Oreo. Repeat for each cookie.

10. Once done, shape the dough back into balls, ensuring it fully covers the fillings.

11. Freeze your stuffed cookies for 45 minutes. This step is essential when creating thick cookies as freezing prevents them from spreading when in the oven.

12. Preheat your oven to 200°C (or 180°C for fan ovens) 15 minutes before the cookies have finished freezing.

13. While you are waiting, line 2 Baking Trays with Parchment Paper.

14. Remove the cookies from the freezer and place them onto your baking trays. I recommend 4 cookies per tray.

15. Bake your cookies for 8-10 minutes. You will know they are done when they are a light golden colour.

16. While the cookies are baking, carefully cut 4 Oreos in half horizontally.

17. Once baked, feel free to lightly press on the edges of the cookies with a teaspoon to ensure they are completely circular. Do not remove the cookies from their trays.

18. Gently press half an Oreo onto each cookie, cream side down, so that it sticks. Be very gentle when doing this to avoid any spread leaking out of the cookie.

19. Once decorated, allow the cookies to cool completely on the trays for a minimum of 2 hours so that the spread can firm up. Then they are ready to enjoy!

Notes

**Don’t Skip the Freeze:** The 45-minute freeze time for the stuffed dough balls is non-negotiable for achieving that thick, NYC-style cookie. It prevents the cookies from spreading into thin discs.

**Cooling is Key:** Letting the cookies cool completely on the baking tray is crucial. It allows the center to set and the molten spread to firm up slightly, preventing a mess when you pick them up.

**Ingredient Temperature:** For best results, use a room temperature egg and margarine/butter. This helps the ingredients combine smoothly into a uniform dough.
