Snoop Doggs Rolls Royce Cookies Recipe

The aroma of warm, buttery cookies fresh from the oven… that’s a scent that instantly brings me back to my grandma’s kitchen in Waco. She always had a batch of something sweet baking, and the joy on my kids’ faces when they get to sneak a warm cookie straight from the tray reminds me so much of those moments. These Snoop Dogg’s Rolls Royce Cookies, oh honey, they’re a step up from your average chocolate chip! They’re chewy, chocolatey, and have a secret ingredient that takes them to the next level. I’ve made this recipe at least a dozen times in my kitchen, tweaking it just right for us Texans. Get ready for a cookie experience that’s truly somethin’ special!

Why This Recipe Works

Life in Texas is busy, y’all know that! Between school drop-offs, soccer practice, and tryin’ to keep up with my blog, FamiliesRecipes.com, I need recipes that are quick, easy, and, most importantly, delicious. These Snoop Dogg’s Rolls Royce Cookies fit the bill perfectly. Here’s why they’ll become a staple in your kitchen:

• Quick to Make: From start to finish, you’re lookin’ at under 30 minutes. Perfect for a last-minute treat.
• Kid-Approved: My kids devour these cookies. They love the soft, chewy texture and the rich chocolate flavor.
• Freezer-Friendly: You can easily make a batch ahead of time and freeze the dough for whenever those cookie cravings hit.
• That Secret Ingredient: The cream cheese adds a depth of flavor you won’t believe! It gives them this incredible tenderness, too.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Ingredient Notes

Let’s talk ingredients for a minute, darlin’. Here’s a few tips and tricks from my Texas kitchen:

• Butter & Cream Cheese: Make sure both are properly softened. If they’re too cold, they won’t cream together properly, and your cookies will be tough. Take them out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before you start baking.
• Sugars: The combination of granulated and brown sugar is key to the cookie’s texture. The brown sugar adds moisture and chewiness. Don’t skimp on either!
• Vanilla Extract: Use a good quality vanilla extract. It makes a difference in the overall flavor. I always keep a bottle of Texas vanilla on hand.
• Chocolate Chips: Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, even white chocolate would be delicious. You can even add some chopped nuts!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s get bakin’! Follow these easy steps, and you’ll have a batch of warm, delicious Snoop Dogg’s Rolls Royce Cookies in no time.

1. Step 1: Cream Together Butter, Cream Cheese, and Sugars. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
2. Step 2: Add Eggs and Vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
3. Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures that the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
4. Step 4: Gradually Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
5. Step 5: Stir in Chocolate Chips. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. I like to use a rubber spatula for this step to avoid overmixing.
6. Step 6: Chill the Dough (Optional but Recommended). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking. I’ve found that chilling the dough for even longer, up to a few hours, results in even thicker, chewier cookies.
7. Step 7: Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
8. Step 8: Drop Dough Onto Baking Sheet. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. I like to use a cookie scoop to ensure that all the cookies are the same size.
9. Step 9: Bake. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Remember that ovens vary, so keep an eye on them! They should look just set but still soft in the middle.
10. Step 10: Cool. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from breaking.

Expert Tips from My Kitchen

After makin’ these cookies countless times, I’ve learned a thing or two. Here’s some insider tips to help you bake up a batch of perfection:

• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the dough develops the gluten in the flour, which can result in tough cookies. Mix until just combined.
• Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough is optional, but highly recommended. It helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and results in a thicker, chewier cookie.
• Use a Cookie Scoop: Using a cookie scoop ensures that all the cookies are the same size, so they bake evenly.
• Don’t Overbake: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
• Add a Sprinkle of Sea Salt: A sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a touch of sophistication.
• Make ‘Em Kid-Friendly: If you want to make these cookies even more kid-friendly, add some sprinkles or M&Ms to the dough.
• For Extra Chewy Cookies: Substitute cake flour for a portion of the all-purpose flour. I find that using 1 cup of cake flour and 2 cups of all-purpose flour creates an amazing chewy texture.

Storage & Meal Prep

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have any leftovers (which I highly doubt!), here’s how to store them:

• Storage: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: You can freeze the baked cookies for up to 2 months. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. You can also freeze the cookie dough. Scoop the dough into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to bake, simply bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
• Reheating: If you want to warm up the cookies, microwave them for a few seconds or pop them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.
• Make-Ahead: You can make the cookie dough up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before baking.

Substitutions & Variations

Wanna mix things up a bit? Here’s some substitutions and variations you can try:

• Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. I’ve had good results with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.
• Dairy-Free: Use a dairy-free butter substitute and dairy-free cream cheese.
• Nut-Free: Make sure to use chocolate chips that are processed in a nut-free facility.
• Different Chocolate Chips: Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate.
• Add Nuts: Add chopped walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts to the dough.
• Spice it Up: Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a warm, spiced flavor.
• Peanut Butter Swirl: Swirl a spoonful of peanut butter into the cookie dough before baking for a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. They will continue to set up as they cool.

Can I substitute the cream cheese?

While the cream cheese is what gives these cookies their signature texture and flavor, you could try using sour cream or Greek yogurt as a substitute. However, I haven’t personally tested these substitutions, so I can’t guarantee the results.

Why are my cookies flat?

Flat cookies can be caused by a few things, such as using too much butter or not chilling the dough. Make sure your butter is softened but not melted, and try chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.

Can I add nuts to these cookies?

Definitely! Chopped walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts would be a delicious addition to these cookies. Just stir them into the dough along with the chocolate chips.
