Cookies and Cream- 1 Dozen

A cookies and cream cookie with a chocolate base is a decadent twist on the classic cookies and cream flavor. In this variation, the cookie dough is richly infused with cocoa powder, resulting in a deep chocolate flavor that serves as the base of the cookie. This chocolate dough is both sweet and slightly bitter, offering a perfect complement to the sweeter components of the cookie.

Into this chocolate dough, chunks or crumbles of classic cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, like Oreos, are mixed. The cream-filled cookie pieces not only add a textural contrast with their crunchy exterior and creamy interior but also enhance the cookies and cream experience. The black-and-white appearance of these cookie pieces creates a visually striking contrast against the dark chocolate dough.

Some versions of this cookie may also include white chocolate chips, which melt slightly during baking and add creamy pockets that mimic the cream of the cookies and cream combination. Once baked, these cookies typically have a rich, dark color, punctuated with the lighter colors of the sandwich cookie pieces and white chocolate chips. The result is a visually appealing cookie that offers a harmonious blend of rich chocolate and classic cookies and cream flavors.
