How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookie Bars
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add parchment paper to an 8X8 pan.

Step Four: Top that with whole Oreos. Then scatter pieces of the remaining batter between them.
Step Five: Sprinkle the very top with any leftover chocolate chips.

Drizzle with extra melted white chocolate, if desired.

Common Questions
You need to pay attention to the baking time listed on the recipe card, and also visually look at the bars. They should be just set, as they will continue to firm up as they are cooling.
That means you have delicious options! Try more of my oreo recipes. You can wrap them in plastic wrap to save for later. Enjoying the leftovers as individual cookies with a big glass of milk sounds like the perfect plan!
Absolutely! Sprinkles, chocolate chips, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or even edible glitter would all be super fun and delicious. Have fun!
