These Dark Chocolate Cookies & Cream Cookies are oh so chocolatey, with smooth white chocolate chips inside, and Cookies’n’Creme candy bar chunks on the outside.

These cookies! I love, LoVe, LOVE them! I love dark chocolate and cookies & cream things though, but I’m sure some of you have similar tastes as I do. These Dark Chocolate Cookies & Cream Cookies are made with the base of my Dark Chocolate Caramel Cashew Cookies, which are also fantastic; the only difference is I put white chocolate chips on the inside and chopped up Cookies’n’Creme candy bars on the outside, instead of using caramel bits and cashews.

I actually made these for a blogger event I went to and I will be honest, I wasn’t sure they would work, solely because some chocolate, especially white chocolate, doesn’t do so well when heated in the oven. I was worried I would have a big melty mess, or that the white chocolate would brown. Well, neither of those things happened and I was so excited!

My husband told me he could eat the whole batch himself, which is 48 cookies; and with his freakishly fantastic metabolism he totally could and not even gain an ounce, but he knew I was taking these with me to a party with the girls, so he only got to taste a couple. I’m pretty sure the girls liked them too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I will most definitely be frequenting this cookie recipe! The only problem I have when I make dark chocolate cookies in general, is that my Bosch is super fast at speed 1 and the dark cocoa powder always gets EVERYWHERE no matter how slow I add it to the bowl. Haha. It’s quite “fun” to wipe up chocolate powder all over the place, but honestly that won’t stop me from making these cookies. I love them and I hope you will too!
