The best Cookies and Cream Blondies! Oreo cookies, cream cheese and white chocolate make a gooey, chewy Oreo cookie blondie that is so incredibly delicious and decadent!
Blondies!
I don't know about you, but I always thought of blondies as that second cousin that you never see. Sure, you might run into them every now and then at a family function and enjoy talking to them, but you don't go out of your way to see them.
That was blondies for me. They would pop up occasionally at some party or get together and I would eat them, because I never pass up a dessert. But I didn't understand why anyone would want a blondie when they could have a brownie. I mean...why?
Then I made these Cookies and Cream Blondies. OMG. Seriously. I would choose these over brownies any day (of course if I could have both that would be even better!)
How Not to Cut Your Amazing Blondies
If you're looking at that first photo and thinking, "Wow, Pam, that's some creative blondie cutting you have going on there, most normal people cut them in squares."
Well, did you know that if you pick up a tray of barely cooled blondies by the edges of the parchment paper and walk them all over the house looking for the best light, that they will basically fall into each other, cracking into an interesting jigsaw puzzle blondie?
Moral of the story is to always have them supported with some sort of pan underneath. Though, I actually liked them like this, no squared portion control, we were free to take big chunks of blondies!
Insanely Good Blondies
Speaking of portion control - good luck. As Mr. Sidewalk Shoes said, "These are addictive." They are so insanely good. The cream cheese and the chunks of Oreo cookies create an oozy while simultaneously crunchy center and the white chocolate laced blondie portion is the perfect sugary sandwich for it!
Seriously these were amazing! I found them in an old 2011 Donna Hay Magazine. More proof that you should never throw away your old cooking magazines!
Ingredients in Cookies and Cream Brownies
- Butter - softened.
- Brown Sugar - The difference between a brownie and a blondie is that a blondie is based on brown sugar and a brownie is based on cocoa.
- Eggs
- Vanilla Extract - I used Homemade Vanilla Extract.
- All Purpose Flour
- Baking Powder
- White Chocolate - melted. To melt white chocolate in a microwave - using 50% power, microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Stirring between times. Stop when most of the chips or chunks are melted and keep stirring, the rest will melt.
- Cream Cheese - softened.
- Oreo Cookies - chopped.
If you have any leftover Oreo Cookies, be sure and make Cookies and Cream Popcorn!

Cookies and Cream Blondies!
Ingredients
- 7 ounces butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ⅔ cups plain all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder sifted
- 7 ounces white chocolate melted
- 4.5 ounces cream cheese softened
- 5 ½ ounces Oreo Cookies chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Beat the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixture until pale and creamy. Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition, then add the vanilla. Add the flour, baking powder and chocolate and beat until combined.
- Spoon half the mixture into a lightly greased 12x8 baking pan lined with non-stick baking paper. Top with spoonfuls of cream cheese (I just sort of tore off bites of it). Sprinkle with the oreo cookies. Top with the rest of the dough and spread it to cover the cookies and cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until it is cooked though when tested with a skewer. Allow to cool in the tin before slicing.

Yes! I laughed out loud since I can relate to carrying around freshly baked goodies while looking for the best light in the house-- I usually hide my ragged-edged treats with a scoop of ice cream. : ) I could go for a tray of these cookies and cream blondies right now!
Amy @Very Culinary says
Ohmygod.
Laura @MotherWouldKnow says
Your problem trying to find good light for photographing the blondies made me laugh. And your blondies look wonderful even with their ragged edges - or maybe in part, because of them.
Michelle @ A Dish of Daily Life says
Yum! I don't think I'd be able to stop at 1, Pam!! These look awesome! Pinning and sharing!
Stacy says
I've learned that lesson the hard way too, Pam. Fortunately, the little cracks don't affect the taste!
Marjie says
I can feel the calories jumping off your pictures and onto me! These look rich and decadent, and I love making bar cookies.

Monique says
Wow.. I know people who will love these..Thanks Pam..You made me laugh..walking around the house.. soup is bad too..the bowl always gets additional soup rings..:(
Renee says
Too funny about them breaking up when you carried them around the house. I think the "rustic" cut makes the pieces interesting. So much for boring old squares.
Joanne says
Ooooohhhh I've been there with the cracked brownies. But hey..at least now you get bigger squares than you probably would have cut for yourself! And I think it actually looks great in the photos. Very artistic.
