Dark Chocolate Cookies & Cream Cookies

By srumbel

These cookies! I love, LoVe, LOVE them! I love dark chocolate and cookies & cream things though, but I’m sure some of you have similar tastes as I do. These Dark Chocolate Cookies & Cream Cookies are made with the base of my Dark Chocolate Caramel Cashew Cookies, which are also fantastic; the only difference is I put white chocolate chips on the inside and chopped up Cookies’n’Creme candy bars on the outside, instead of using caramel bits and cashews.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 12 snack size Hershey's Cookies'n'Creme candy bars, roughly chopped

Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars. Add eggs, and vanilla. Blend well. Scrape bowl if needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until incorporated.
Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Using a #50 cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 TBSP), scoop the cookie dough balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Press a few pieces of chopped Cookies'n'Creme candy bar pieces on top.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 9 to 10 minutes. Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Store cookies in an airtight container.
