Deliciously chewy Cookies and Cream Bars loaded with Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Crème and Oreos. Perfect for cookie lovers!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 cup cake flour

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes (8 tablespoons)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (light or dark)

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 4 (1.55 oz) Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Crème Bars, chopped

  • 15 Oreos, divided (10 crushed into batter, 5 for topping)

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Cut in Butter and Sugar
    Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing to combine.

  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla
    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix into the butter-flour mixture until just combined.

  5. Fold in Chopped Candies and Oreos
    Gently fold in the chopped Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Crème Bars, crushed Oreos (reserve 5 Oreos for topping), and mini chocolate chips.

  6. Transfer to Pan and Add Toppings
    Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Top with the remaining 5 Oreo cookies, broken into pieces, pressing lightly into the batter.

  7. Bake
    Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

  8. Cool and Cut
    Allow bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares.

Notes

Use cold butter to achieve a tender crumb and slightly flaky texture.

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bars.

For an extra indulgent twist, drizzle melted white or dark chocolate on top once cooled.

Store bars in an airtight container for up to 4 days for maximum freshness.
