Best ingredients for golden oreo cookies
When it comes to making golden oreo cookies, it’s important to use high-quality ingredients. Here are some tips:
- Unsalted butter: I recommend using unsalted butter in this recipe to control the amount of salt in the cookies.
- Brown sugar: Brown sugar adds a rich, caramel flavor to the cookies.
- Granulated sugar: Granulated sugar adds sweetness and helps the cookies spread as they bake.
- Eggs: The eggs help bind the ingredients together and add moisture to the cookies.
- Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract adds a delicious flavor to the cookies.
- All-purpose flour: All-purpose flour is the perfect choice for these cookies, as it creates a soft, chewy texture.
- Baking soda: Baking soda helps the cookies rise and creates a slightly crisp exterior.
- Sea salt: Sea salt enhances the flavors in the cookies.
- Golden Oreos: Chopped Golden Oreos add a delicious crunch and flavor to the cookies.
- White chocolate chips: White chocolate chips add a creamy texture and a sweet flavor to the cookies.

Storing and freezing tips
If you can resist eating all of these cookies at once, they will last for several days in an airtight container at room temperature. The cookies will remain soft and chewy for up to 3 days, but after that, they may start to dry out a bit.
If you want to keep your cookies fresh for a longer period, you can freeze them. To do this, let the cookies cool completely, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw the cookies, simply let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before enjoying them.
I usually freeze cookie dough before baking. To do so simply form the dough into balls and freeze it on a lined baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer the dough balls to a freezer bag or container. Then bake them whenever you’re craving delicious golden oreo cookies!

Top tips for the best golden oreo cookies
- Use room temperature ingredients: Be sure to use room temperature butter and eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Don’t overmix: When adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Use high-quality ingredients: Since this recipe relies on just a few simple ingredients, it’s important to use the best quality ingredients you can find. This will result in the best flavor and texture.
