Cookies and cream gooey butter cookies feature bits of Oreos in a yummy soft buttery cookie. They are so simple to make and really taste wonderful. You are just 7 ingredients away from tasty cookies!
If you are looking for super soft cookies that are easy to make and just a bit different, I don’t blame you one bit. (And you’ve totally come to the right place!)
These tasty Oreo cookies are loaded with cream cheese for that perfect chewy bite. Plus, they start with a cake mix so there’s basically no measuring involved.
Cookies and cream desserts have always been up there on my list of favorites. It’s hard to go wrong when those yummy little sandwich cookies are involved.
Of course, cookies and cream ice cream is delicious, but I love trying cookies and cream in a variety of unexpected treats as well.
Fudgy cookies and cream blossoms are another fun cookie idea. And cookies and cream fudge is another great treat.
I have also baked Oreos into a cake. The layers of cookies and cream cake were a hit at my sister’s baby shower.
So it seemed like some tasty cookies would be a perfect addition to the Oreo recipes catalog. Rather than start from scratch, I grabbed a cake mix and my trusty gooey butter cookie recipe.

You don’t even need a measuring cup to make the dough. Just add the cake mix, a softened brick of cream cheese, some softened butter and you are basically in business!
The dough can be chilling in the fridge in no time. I like to use my small cookie scoop to portion out the dough.
It can be a bit sticky, even after a good chill. So I drop it right into the bowl of powdered sugar and let the sugar help me roll it into a ball.
That way I end up with less cookie dough stuck to my hands and more in the oven. Though having an excuse to taste a little dough isn’t completely frowned upon in my kitchen!
I brought most of these to work and set them on our snack table. A couple of people chased me down to tell me how good they were, so I’d say that’s a pretty good sign!
I have tried a few gooey butter cookie variations now, but I think these and the lemon gooey butter cookies are the crowd favorites. What are your favorite cookie flavors or stir-ins?
