Indulgent Jet Crema Cookies and Cream Cookies

Craving a decadent cookie packed with rich chocolate flavor? Look no further than these indulgent Jet Crema Cookies and Cream cookies. Made with Jet's famous cookies and cream flavored filling, these cookies strike the perfect balance between crispy edges and a soft, fudgy center.

Ingredients

To make these incredible cookies, you'll need:

• 250g butter, softened
• 90g brown sugar
• 45g white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 280g all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 150g Jet chocolate bar, chopped
• 120g Jet Crema Cookies and Cream

Directions

Follow these simple instructions for cookie success:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chopped Jet chocolate bar.
4. Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each ball.
5. Fill each indentation with 1-2 teaspoons of Jet Crema Cookies and Cream. Bake for 11-13 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. The cookies will look slightly underbaked.
6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Perfect Cookies

Follow these tips and tricks for baked goods that look and taste incredible every time:

Use Room Temperature Ingredients

Letting your butter and eggs come to room temperature before baking leads to cookies that spread evenly and have a deliciously tender, chewy texture.

Don't Overmix the Dough

Gently mix the cookie dough just until the ingredients are incorporated. Overmixing develops gluten in the flour, leading to tough cookies.

Chill the Dough

For cookies that hold their shape perfectly, chill the scooped dough balls in the fridge for 30-60 minutes before baking. The chilled dough will spread less in the oven.

Use Fresh Baking Soda and Powder

Old baking soda and powder lose their leavening power. Replace yours every 3 months for reliably puffy cookies.

Creative Ways to Fill Cookies

While Jet Crema Cookies and Cream takes these cookies over the top, you can fill cookie dough with all kinds of decadent mixes. Try some of these sweet ideas:

Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spreads melt into an irresistible molten filling.

Jams and Curds

Spoonfuls of fruit jam, lemon curd or passionfruit curd provide a fresh, tangy surprise.

Caramel or Fudge Sauce

For ultimate indulgence, fill your cookies with warmed caramel, chocolate or butterscotch sauce.

Cream Cheese and Fruit

Beat together cream cheese with fresh berries, mashed bananas or citrus zest.

Storing Filled Cookies

Filled cookies are best enjoyed fresh the day they are made. To store extras, wait until the cookies have cooled completely then layer between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in an airtight container. Place in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Let frozen cookies thaw at room temperature for 1-2 hours before enjoying. The filling and cookies may separate slightly but will still taste incredible!

FAQs

What can I use instead of Jet Crema Cookies and Cream?

You can use any cookies and cream flavored filling product in place of the Jet Crema. Other substitutes like chocolate hazelnut spread or lemon curd also work well.

Can I freeze the unbaked cookie dough?

Yes, scoop the dough into balls and freeze on a baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container. Bake frozen cookies by adding 1-2 extra minutes to the bake time.

What is the bake time if I do not fill the cookies?

Plain cookies without filling will take 1-2 minutes less time to bake. Start checking unfilled cookies at 9 minutes for doneness instead of 11 minutes.

What can I do if my cookies spread too much?

Chilling the dough for 30-60 minutes helps prevent excessive spreading. Also bake just a few cookies at a time so the oven temperature does not drop too much when putting them in.
