These Cookies and Cream Cookies made with two kinds of chocolate chips and Oreo cookie chunks is our number one cookie recipe. Cake mix cookies are the perfect dessert for any occasion because they are so easy to make and fun to customize.
Cookies and Cream Cookies
For some reason this week I am obsessed with all things cookies. Not just any cookies though. Easy cake mix cookies have become my favorite type of cookie to make.
They are easy to mix up, you can customize them with your favorite mix-ins, and they stay soft and chewy for days.
These cookies and cream cookies made with a cake mix, chocolate chips, and Oreo cookies are one of our daughter's favorite cookies. Of course, anything with cookies and cream is never a bad idea!
What are Cake Mix Cookies?
Cake mix cookies are a shortcut cookie made from using a store bought cake mix instead of regular dry ingredients.
Using just a few more ingredients, you can transform any flavor of cake mix into a soft delicious cookie.
The fun comes when you start deciding what extra ingredients you want to add to the cookie. Here is a list of some of our favorite mix-ins:
- Candy - M&M's, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Butterfingers, Bunch a Crunch, Reese's Pieces, Peppermint Patties, Rolos
- Dried Fruit - cherries, blueberries, cranberries, shredded coconut
- Cookies - Oreos, Nutter Butters, Chips Ahoy, Animal Crackers
- Chocolate Chips - white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, mint, peppermint
- Extras - Sprinkles, Nuts, Maraschino Cherries
Ingredients for Cookies N Cream Cookies
These cake mix Oreo cookies are so easy to make in minutes with a cake mix and a few other ingredients. Trust me and make a double batch because the cookies and cream goodness will disappear in a hurry.
- Vanilla Cake Mix - you are only using the dry powdered mix
- Butter - set it out ahead of time so it is soft enough to mix in
- Egg - provides moisture to create a soft cookie dough
- Cream Cheese - gives these cake mix cookies a soft and gooey texture
- Vanilla - adds a splash of flavor
- Oreo Cookies - chop or crush the cookies into chunks. Be careful not to crush them into crumbs.
- Chocolate Chips - use a mixture of white and milk chocolate chips
How to make Cookies and Cream Cookies
The dough for these chocolate chip cookies and cream cookies comes together in minutes. Be sure to plan enough time because the dough does need some chill time before baking.
- Mix together the dry cake mix, butter, cream cheese, egg, and vanilla until a soft dough forms.
- Gently stir in chocolate chips and Oreo cookie chunks. Do not over mix.
- Refrigerate dough for 60 minutes.
- Scoop dough into 24 even dough balls and bake.
Recipe Tips
- Adding cream cheese to the batter makes these white cake mix cookies taste like Oreo cheesecake cookies. Make sure you set the butter and cream cheese out ahead of time.
- Feel free to use your favorite mix-ins. Today we went with Oreo cookie chunks and two kinds of chocolate chips. There is no right or wrong combo when it comes to these easy cake mix cookies.
- Make sure you do not over bake them. They WILL look under done when the timer goes off! Trust me, and take them out of the oven.
- These easy cookies and creme cookies will continue to bake on the hot baking sheet! Give the tops of the cookies a tap with a flat spatula after 2 minutes if they are too puffy. When they cool completely, they will be set up and ready to eat.
Storage
You can make the dough for these cookies one to two days ahead of time. Keep the dough in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to bake. You can also freeze the dough balls in a freezer bag. Thaw before baking.
Store the baked cookies in a tightly sealed container once they have cooled completely.
Baked cookies can also be made ahead of time and frozen for later. Place cookies in individual bags or in between layers of parchment paper in larger bags or containers. They will keep for 1-2 months.
Holiday Variations
These cookies and cream cookies are so easy to customize for different holidays by using colored candies, sprinkles, and different flavors of Oreo cookies.
- Chocolate Mint Cookies - chocolate cake mix, mint Oreos, mint M&Ms
- 4th of July Cookies -vanilla cake mix, Oreo cookies, red white and blue M&Ms and sprinkles
- Chocolate Halloween Cookies - chocolate cake mix, Oreos with orange frosting, Halloween M&M's
- Peppermint Cookies - vanilla cake mix, Oreo cookies, peppermint crunch chips

Rose
Love these Chocolate Chip Cookies and Cream Cookies, these seems super delicious and amazing . Super excited to try these.
Natalie
Hello!
I have the dough chilling in the fridge right now! Excited to see how they come out. I'm almost positive they will be delicious. Is there another type of cake mix cookie that you favor???
Thanks for recipe!!
Heather
Hi there, thanks for a great recipe. Going to try. I use cookie scoops - I'm lazy, it's less messy, faster and get even sized cookies. What size cookie scoop should be used pls? Or should I use TBSP, tsp size balls? Thanks can't wait!
Jocelyn
I usually use cookie scoops to get even balls too. I think mine is a 1 1/2 or 2 tablespoon scoop. I hope you enjoy the cookies!
Hailey
These were wonderful!!! A serving is one cookie, correct? I set them aside for a bit and they were so yummy! Even better after being in the refrigerator! Thank you!
Jocelyn
I am so glad you enjoyed the cookies. Yes, one cookie is one serving. Happy New Year!
Isabek
How many days can I leave the cookies in the freezer?
Jocelyn
Do mean the baked cookies? If you keep them in freezer safe bags or container, they will keep for 1-2 months. Just make sure to separate each layer with parchment or wax paper, so they do not freeze together.
Conor
Hey there! These look amazing! Quick question: can I leave the dough over night in my fridge? I’ve done it with regular cookie dough, but never with cake mix. Thanks!
Jocelyn
You sure can! I've left the dough in the fridge for hours when I totally forgot to go back and bake it. It may be pretty solid after being in the fridge overnight, so you will need to let it sit out a few minutes so you can scoop it easily. The other option is to scoop the dough and put it on a tray and refrigerate that overnight. Then it's easy to just move them onto a baking sheet. I hope you enjoy the cookies!
Mary
Hey Jocelyn, Yummy cookie! I am a great chocolate and cookie lover. When I saw your blog I started preparing the Chocolate chip cookies. I followed your instructions and the cookie was turned out to be super delicious. Loved your recipe.Thank you for sharing.
Jocelyn
Yay! I am so excited to hear you tried this cookie recipe. It's a favorite in our house! Thank you for stopping back in and leaving a comment.
simarn sharma
? I love these! Those chocolate cookies cream cookies are brilliant! I’m not going to show my hubby this post, I’m just going to make some and stick them in his lunch box as a surprise, heeee! Nice one ?
Sarah
I have made these several times! My family and friends absolutely love them! Thank you for this recipe❤️
Liszt
Yummy
Kara Marykuca
Do you just smash real oreo cookies to get the cookie chunks? Or do you buy oreo cookie chunks that just have the cookie and no icing?
Jocelyn
I just bought Oreo cookies and chopped them up with a knife. Go ahead and leave the frosting them. I hope you enjoy the cookies!
Holly
These were mentioned in an article in Runner's World as an athlete's favorite cookie in college! So, I gotta give them a try. Curious...do you ever make them as bar cookies instead of scooping out dough balls?
Jocelyn
No way! That's so cool that they were/are someone's favorite and they talked about it in an interview. I had no idea! I hope you do give them a try, as they are one of our top favorite cookies in our house. Although, I have never tried baking them as bar cookies. I'm sure it would work, but I can't give you an exact time for it. Keep me posted if you try it that way.
Ashley p
How long can you keep the dough in the fridge for the cookies and cream cookies?
Jocelyn
It should keep for a few days in the refrigerator. I know I've left it for at least 2 days before baking it. I hope you enjoy the cookies.
Naomi Wiebe
These cookies were good, not great. Expensive ingredients for a cookie that didn't WOW me. The bake time (10 minutes) was accurate. I'd suggest making the balls a little bigger and then flattening them slightly, before they go into the oven.
Unfortunately if you're not a fan of the flavor of a cake mix, these cookies are going to be a bit overpowering. Nice to have on ice-cream, probably won't bother making again.
kara
hi, curious to know if you prefer to use semi sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate ? thank you!
Jocelyn
I actually prefer dark chocolate chips, but also use semi-sweet chips a lot of the times too! I hope you enjoy the cookies!
Karen
Made these cookies for a cookie exchange and they were sooo popular! I was sort of expecting them to be overpoweringly sweet with the Oreos and two kinds of chocolate chips, but they were actually just perfect and so deliciously soft! Great recipe and super easy as well ????????
Jocelyn
Yay! I am so glad you liked them and they were a hit at the party. They are one of my daughters absolute favorite cookies 🙂
Lisa
Can I freeze these after their baked?
Jocelyn
As long as they are completely cooled, you should be able to freeze these just fine. I hope you enjoy the cookies!
Jen
The “print recipe” link doesn’t give me the option to actually print it. Has that feature been taken down?
Jocelyn
I just checked and was able to print that recipe from the link in the recipe card. You might need to check your printer settings to make sure it is set up to print right.
Chelsea Ramirez
At what temperature do you bake these cookies? Also how long?
Jocelyn
All of this info is in the recipe card. Step 1 says to preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and step 5 says to bake the cookies for 10 minutes. I hope that helps and that you enjoy the cookies!!!
Danielle
If I made these cookies on a Sunday for a Friday party will they still be good in a air tight container or do you recommend freezing them ?
Jocelyn
I think they would be fine as long as the container is tightly sealed. Cake mix cookies are always the ones I choose to mail because they do stay soft for days. I hope you enjoy the cookies!!!
Michelle
Do you always recommend using cookies as one of the mix-ins? Say I wasted to do a strawberry cake, with white chocolate chips. Would I use 3 cups of white chocolate chips, or find a cookie that would work with my cake flavor?
Jocelyn
You don't have to use cookies for a mix in. Sometimes I do a mixture of candy or chocolate chips instead. Like in these Chocolate Candy Cookies. https://insidebrucrewlife.com/chocolate-candy-cookies/ I do think that 3 cups of chips would be way to much for that amount of batter though.
Jess
Can you taste the cream cheese in the cookies? If so, can it be omitted?
Jocelyn
You cannot taste the cream cheese in the cookies. It just adds a soft texture that is amazing!!
Angie Casterlin
Two questions:
1. Are the cookies cake like or soft, most chewy?
2. Mailing these to my Army son is lives across the country. Do they stay fresh for awhile?
Jocelyn
These cookies are soft and puffy, no chewy, but not really cake like either. They definitely stay soft and fresh for days, so they are great for mailing. I hope your son enjoys them!!!
Joei Lopes
Is it salted or unsalted butter?
Jocelyn
You can honestly use either. I generally always use unsalted though.
Mickey
It would have been helpful to put the receipe further up. Had to flip thru a lot of pages on you site, then sign up for pintrest, and still couldnt find it!! Wasnt o the video either. Last chance I looked the entire (quite long) post on fb. Just saying.
Jocelyn
You shouldn't have had to go through many pages to get to the recipe. And you definitely don't have to sign up for anything like Pinterest to get to the recipes either. It's as easy as opening a blog page and scrolling down below a few pictures to find the printable card.
Shannon
How long do you bake them?
Jocelyn
The recipe says to bake them for 10 minutes in step 5. I hope you enjoy the cookies!
Arif
How many gram of cake mix require for this recipe? ????
Jocelyn
I usually use a 15.25 ounce Pillsbury cake mix which is 432 grams. I hope that helps.
Chris peele
What flavor. I can only fine French vanilla mix. Are you using a white mix,or a yellow cake mix by pillsbury?
Jocelyn
I usually buy the white mix so the colors stand out better. The yellow or French vanilla will work fine too. Your cookie will just be a little more cream/yellow colored.
Ethan
Would I be able to use a yellow cake mix in stead of vanilla. Isn’t the o my difference is they use the yokes?
Jocelyn
Yes, you can use any flavor of cake mix you like.
Ashley
I’m in the process of making these right now! I used French vanilla cake mix by better Crocker. Couldn’t find just a vanilla one. I have the dough in the fridge chilling right now! I will let everyone know how they turn out. Super excited!!
Jocelyn
Yup, any cake mix will work in this recipe. I hope you enjoy the cookies. They are our daughter's absolute favorite cookie 🙂
Muhaini
U mentioned 1 vanilla cake mixed... what’s d quantity? Is it 250gm. In d video looks like 1 bar of butter and 1 bar of cheese... does the recipe list the correct amount of butter and cheese? I’m try to make for the festive
Jocelyn
The recipe has the correct amounts you need to make one batch of cookies. The cake mix is a store bought mix like Pillsbury.
Aminath
Vanilla cake mix can you elaborate I don't want to use those box ones
Jocelyn
It's a store bought cake mix. I usually use Pillsbury.
Melly
Hello (: can I know whats the ingredient needed for cake mix?
Jocelyn
It's a store bought cake mix 🙂
LK
I love these cookies!! Usually I make them with milk chocolate chips. Would semi sweet be better? Thanks!!
Jocelyn
It all depends on what chocolate chips you prefer. I usually make them with dark chocolate chips, but that's what I like. I'm glad you are enjoying this recipe 🙂
Jesyka
yum I...thanks for the tips I made it with my daughter and it was fun and yummy
Yenesis
I LOVE these cookies !! So delicious anddd to make it better I made them with cannabutter , amazing !
Natalie
YUM!!!
Jean Vaughn
Hello can these cookies be frozen....if so how do I do it before or after I cook them...THANK YOU..I have cooked them before and they are awesome
Jocelyn
I would freeze them after you make and cool them. I'm so glad to hear you have made them before and liked them!
Ayesha
Hi, these cookies are absolutely amazing! But I was wondering if I'd be able to freeze any leftover dough? And for how long?
Jocelyn
I'm not sure about freezing this dough because it has the cream cheese in it. You could always make the extra dough and then freeze the cookies.
Jean
I just made these.....yummy and easy...I love to bake so THANK YOU
Michelle I
Realize this is an old post but just saw the video and it shows softened butter and recipe calls for melted butter. Could you clarify which is correct. I think the different versions would produce different textures in the baked cookie. Thanks, I am looking forward to making this!
Jocelyn
You can actually use either melted or softened because after the dough is mixed up you are going to refrigerate it until the dough is chilled again. I like to use softened butter though because then it doesn't take as long to chill. Thank you for letting me know I had two different things written down. I went ahead and fixed the recipe to say softened. I hope you enjoy the cookies!!!
Michelle
Thanks for the super fast reply to an old post - that is awesome!! That butter explanation makes sense!
I made them with melted butter and they were a hit! Thanks for the unique and yummy recipe!!!
Jocelyn
Yay! I am so glad you liked them 🙂
Carmen
Question - I have a trip where I want to make these to take on the road - since they have cream cheese will they keep fresh on the road without refrigeration?
Jocelyn
These do not need to be refrigerated. They stay soft for days if you keep them in a tightly sealed container. Have fun on your trip and enjoy the cookies!
lauren
ummmm I just made these and hate you. where have these cookies been all my life, wow! so good. and let me just say that I believe the dough is the best dough I have ever tasted. kudos!
Jocelyn
Hahahaha! I know that feeling...I hate myself every time I make them! Then I try to pack them in the kid's lunches quickly because otherwise I eat the entire batch!
Lane & Holly @ With Two Spoons
I love, love, love how simple these sound!
Megan @ MegUnprocessed
Looks great! Kids will love this treat!
Cheryl @ Pook's Pantry
How Fun! I'm sure the kiddos love these!
Johnna
These look like such a great treat! Can't go wrong with cookies and cream in anything.
Crystal
Any idea if these cookies would last if they were shipped overseas? I have a loved one who is currently in Afghanistan, and I'd love to send him a care package with these in it. The last package took 2 weeks to arrive. Any idea if these would go bad in that amount of time if packaged in an airtight container?
Jocelyn
These cookies do stay soft for days! They have never lasted 2 weeks in our house, so I can't say for sure. I think if you packed them in an airtight container, I think it's possible though.
Kim
My 9 year old son made these last week for his Creating with a Mix 4H project. He won First Place PLUS Reserve Grand Champion!!
He only needed 3 to turn in and the other 33 here at home were gone in ONE DAY! He already has a request to make more for his grandparents. There cookies are delicious.
Kim
*These cookies. 🙂
Jocelyn
Woo hoo! Congrats to your son! Glad everyone liked the cookie recipe! It's a favorite here for sure!
Valerie Wolberg
Just made these very good and easy to do. Thank-you for sharing.
Miranda
I made these and they are amazing!! I didn't have to tweak the recipe like most of the other Pinterest recipes. I usually make a trial batch before I bring them to a get together, but these were perfect the first time! Thank you so much, they were the talk of the party and I will definitely make them again!!
Jocelyn
Woo hoo! Yay for recipes that work the first time! These are one of our absolutely favorite cookies here, so I am so glad you liked them too!!!
Sara
I know you are supposed to refrigerate these for 30 minutes but how do they do for longer than that? Like overnight?
Jocelyn
They are fine if you refrigerate them longer. I usually make the dough and then forget about it because I get busy doing other things. Let me know how you like them 🙂
Vanessa
I made these and they were amazing! Instead of chocolate chips I used Hershey's cookies n creme drops. Thanks for the recipe! Excited to try other combinations!
Kim
How big did you make your cookies? A tablespoon or two?
Jocelyn
I didn't measure them....I just grabbed balls of dough and rolled them into 36 even balls. You can also do 24 even dough balls and bake them for 10 minutes.
Connie Luedtke
They look delicious. Can't wait to make them.
Carol
Jocelyn,
Is there anything else you'd recommend in place of the cream cheese? The person I want to make these for is not a cream cheese lover (weird, right?). You think yogurt or sour cream might work w/o changing the flavor you've created too much?
Jocelyn
You don't actually taste the cream cheese in these cookies. It just adds a soft puffy texture to the cookies. You might be able to substitute 1/4 cup sour cream in place of it, but I haven't tried it to say for sure.
Carol
Thank you. I'll use it as written and just keep my mouth shut about the ingredients 😉 I find for those self proclaimed 'picky types' - they don't usually realize when the "offending" ingredient is actually used!! LOL!
Thanks again for the reply~
Carol
Stephanie
Would it be okay to use whipped cream cheese instead of regular?
Jocelyn
I have never actually tried it with the whipped cream cheese, so I can't say for sure how it will work. If you try it, let me know!
Karie
I have done so, and they come out just as soft but sort of fluffier
Emily
Oreos are one of my favorites! These cookies look delicious!
Alyssa
I've been making these cookies for a while and they are always a hit!! I have a question though. How many days prior can I make the dough and leave it in the fridge? Thank you!
Jocelyn
I think you could make it a few days before and just keep it in a tightly sealed container. I'm so glad to hear the cookies are always a hit!
Janna
I'm still fairly new to cooking and baking, so maybe this is a dumb question? Do you do 8 tablespoons of melted butter, or 8 tablespoons of butter, that you then melt? Thanks! These sound delicious! I want to make them for my co-workers, as a Christmas treat.
Jocelyn
A stick of butter is 8 Tablespoons...I just melt that. I hope you enjoy the cookies!!!
Terri
Hhmmm... melted butter... I just made this recipe, and missed that. I carefully softened my butter in the microwave, and they turned out ok! I was wondering why the need to refrigerate (which I did anyway), now I know why! Anyway, I was searching comments to find out how to store them until a bake sale in 2 days, looks like they'll be fine in the ziplock baggies I packed them in. (I wasn't sure because of the cream cheese. ) BTW, I made a second batch to use up the other half of the cream cheese block, but used a chocolate cake mix instead and mixed in peanut butter chips and mini Reese's pieces. the yield was less because I couldn't come up with an alternative to the 2 cups of Oreo crumbs, but they also turned out great!
Katie
These are my new favorite! I have made them twice now and both times they were a HUGE hit. They stay soft in a sealed container, no need for the slice of bread like with regular chocolate chip cookies.
The second time I made them, my family made them into ice cream sandwiches with cookies & cream ice cream! SO GOOD!!
I cannot wait to try some of your other recipes! Thank you!
Jocelyn
Yay! I am so glad to hear that your family enjoyed them so much! And I love the ice cream sandwich idea 🙂
Jacki
Hi Jocelyn,
These cookies look amazing! I am going to bake them soon. I was wondering about storage after these cookies are baked. Do the cooked cookies need to be refrigerated since there is cream cheese in them? How long do they typically last in an airtight container?
Thank you!
Jocelyn
I just store them in a sealed container on the counter. There is no need to refrigerate them. They usually last a few days here...I think if I didn't have kids eating them they would last 5-6 days. I hope you enjoy them!
C'Asia
This is my fav recipe ever! I loved the cream cheese addition. What would I need to add to make this into cupcakes instead?
Jocelyn
I would just make the cupcakes following the cake mix directions. Add the cookie crumbs before putting them in cupcake liners.
Liz W
I'm disappointed in these cookies. I baked them for 9 minutes. They didn't look done, but I followed your directions because you said they wouldn't. I let them sit on the pan for 3 minutes then transferred them to wax paper to finish cooling. I waited until they were completely cooled then took a bite of one and...they are not done inside! I feel like I just wasted my time and 36 cookies.
Jocelyn
I am so sorry to hear that you didn't like the cookies, Liz. We make these and versions of these all the time, and we never bake them longer. Everyone does have different taste preferences though. I hope you saved them and give them another chance today...they really are amazing!
Neils
I bought yellow cake mix.....will that work taste wise?
Jocelyn
I think it will be just fine. There is so much cookie and chocolate chip goodness in the cookies, that I don't think it will make a difference if it is a white or yellow mix. Keep me posted on how you like them!
Neils
Cookies were AWESOME!!! Huge success and the yellow cake mix worked just fine!! Yumm
Desiree
I can't remember if I've commented before but it would be an injustice if I didn't so here I go (maybe again!). These cookies are shamazing. I have made them countless times now because people (especially my brother and husband) keep asking me too. I also made them for my Church Youth Group who ran off with them in 5 seconds lol. Not to mention a million people have asked me for the recipe. The only bad thing is I wish I had come up with it hehehe:) Thank you so much for sharing I will be making these until forever!
Ellie
I am obsessed with these!!
Claire
I just made these cookies and they turned out absolutely perfectly! I followed your directions exactly the timing and they the perfect cookie consistency of crispy on the outside and gooey inside. Thanks so much for the awesome recipe!
Nina
These look amazing, I can't wait to try them. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of white chocolate so I usually use vanilla chips as a substitute - I'm thinking these would work perfectly in this recipe!
Noelle
These are the best cookies. I made a few modifications. I use chocolate chips instead the white chocolate chips. I also use Andes Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips in half of the cookies. I store them in an air tight container with a piece of bread to keep them soft.
Bethany
These look AMAZING! Planning to make these for a superbowl party this weekend! I was just wondering if you use milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips??
Jocelyn Brubaker
Oh, those are good cookies! I usually always use semi-sweet or dark in my treats, but you can use whatever you like or have on hand. I hope you like them!
ericka
Can this dough be frozen for later use?
Jocelyn Brubaker
I have never frozen this dough before, and I don't think freezing cream cheese works very well. Sorry!
Pallavi
Made a batch of these for my acappella team. Needless to say this group of college kids loved them! I decided to use mint oreos for a bit of a holiday variation, turned out perfect! No one could believe they were homemade. Make these cookies!! Such as an awesome recipe that you can customize and change up.
Lauren
Hi! These are my new favorites! I did have a quick question - am I supposed to use milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips? I think I have made it both ways but I was just wondering what you recommended. Thanks!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Yay for new cookie favorites!! I usually only buy semi sweet chips, but really any chocolate chip will work in these.
Morgan
Made these cookies for a big family dinner, and was really depressed when they wouldn't set, even after baking for 14 minutes. Left them out over night and the next morning, they were magically transformed into soft, but not too soft, perfect cookies. And they were a huge hit, so yummy! Thank you for recipe, I'm sure I will use again and again!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Hi, Morgan. I am so glad they turned out for you. Yes, these cookies are very soft when they first come out of the oven, but they set up so nicely after they cool. I was a little worried when I read you cooked them 14 minutes, because I never do longer than 9 minutes. Glad to hear they still tasted great! 🙂
Alex
love this and so many of your other recipes. Also really admire the layout and design of this blog. Thanks for the inspiration!
I actually also have a cookie recipe on my new blog. Any tips to improve would be welcome!
http://kitchenbeat.co.uk/white-chocolate-cranberry-cookies/
Kait
I've had this recipe saved for quite some time now and I finally decided to make it on a whim -- I can't believe I didn't do it sooner! From the first bite, I was hooked. So. Freakin. GOOD!!!
Shirley
These cookies should be named, "The best cookie you'll ever eat COOKIE." Made them as directed for church and they were absolutely wonderful. Not the prettiest cookie lol but taste divine 🙂
Thanks so much!
CP
Your recipe looks great but I was wondering what kind of cake mix you were talking about was one of those packeted Betty Crocker or Greens? And do you make them per the packets instructions or just add the dry mix?
Jocelyn Brubaker
I usually use a Pillsbury box cake mix. Do not make them using the directions on the box. This recipe only uses the dry mix. I hope you enjoy the cookies.
Michelle I
I realize this is an old post but I just found your blog and can't wait to try these cookies! The question about brand of cake mix is a good one because the amount of cake mix per box is different by manufacturer. Pillsbury is smallest at 15.25 oz per
Package. Duncan and Betty Crocker are an oz more at 16.25. Could make a difference in baking and texture! Can't wait to try this!!!
Jocelyn
Actually it really doesn't make a difference in the cookies, so feel free to use whatever brand you like. I usually get the Pillsbury cake mixes though.
Kim of Mo'Betta
This recipe has gone nuts on Pinterest! It has been pinned from my board over 6000 times! Congrats 🙂 And I'm really craving cookies and oreos now....thanks for that. Ha!
Dan
These seem delicious. What is the texture of the cooled cookie? Is it like a Toll House cookie or is it light like a cookie made with more egg whites? Hopefully I've explained the question well enough. I'm just not a fan of a cookie that's too airy and was wondering before I headed into the kitchen. They look great! Thank you for any advice and for sharing.
Jocelyn Brubaker
These are very delicious. They are definitely not a light airy cookie. They are a little heavier and dense. Definitely give them a try...I think you will like them!
Kristen Duke
I LOVE cake mix cookies! These look so yummy - definitely pinning to make these soon!
Tonia
Looks amazing and those notebook napkins are the cutest thing ever!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks Tonia!! 🙂
Wendy
I think I better start a separate board for pinning just Cookie and Cream desserts! They always catch my eye because it is such a favorite flavor at our house!! Pinned and on the "make asap" list. Thanks, Jocelyn. 🙂

My sister love cookies and cream and anything oreo related. I've had cookies on the brain too. I went with Josh to an event last night and I ate 3 white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. 3!!!! What was I thinking? Bad, bad, bad! They were so good though. I only regret it a little bit this morning.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha!! That's usually what I tell myself after I've indulged a little more than I should!! 🙂 In the moment, it's sooo worth it though!

I can usually take or leave cookies, but these look beyond amazing! Cake mix cookies have been on to do list for forever. Oreos and chocolate chips - what is not to love?!

These cookies are amazing! I love how simple they are and that you made them with a cake mix! I've never actually tried cake mix cookies - I need to get on that stat! Also is that "paper" a napkin/paper towel? Too cute!

I'm loving these cookies. I'm not a big fan of eating oreos plain... don't ask why.... but love the flavor. Thinking this could be a good combination for me to try.

Made these tonight, used the cookie dough Oreos I had on hand. They were a big hit with this family.

I am with your daughter in that I love anything cookies and cream flavored so I know that I would love these! Not to mention how soft and fluffy they look!
Jennie @themessybakerblog
Hmmm, protein bar or cookies... Psht, cookies! These look addictive. Cookies and cream is the ultimate flavor combo and my favorite. Pinned!
Karly
Looooove these! I could never choose a protein bar over one of these cookies. Never.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thank you Karly!! 🙂
Johnpa to rick
Bad recipe! Not even close to being done after 10 minutes. Expensive disaster!!!
Jocelyn
Did you let them cool and set up? I know they are soft and look under done when they come out of the oven, BUT give them time to cool and set up!!! This is a cake mix cookie, so it has a completely different kind of a texture than a regular cookie. If you have never had one before, you may be unfamiliar with that texture.
aimee@shugarysweets
Oh yum, I want these cookies too!!! I love cookies and cream anything!!!
