Every now and then, something hits me. An idea I just can’t escape. I try to think zucchini and spinach, but my mind keeps begging for cookies and breads. Our family loves Oreo cookies. It’s the girls’ most requested ice cream. So, I gave it a shot, I mixed a few of our favorite things with one of my favorite recipes and voila, magic was made. Cookies and Cream Bread!
The girls think that they don’t like cream cheese, but they have had a countless number of appetizers and desserts made with cream cheese that they just can’t get enough of, and this Cookies and Cream Bread is no exception.
Adapted from my sweet bread recipe, Cookies and Cream bread takes just 10 minutes hands on time and bakes to perfection. I like to serve it warm for breakfast or dessert, but it’s delicious at room temperature, too!
If we’re hosting guests for the weekend, I’ll whip up a few loaves of various breads because it keeps well when wrapped. Caramel Cheesecake is another favorite!

HI Julie – I’m guessing you mean 1 egg and not actually 1/2 cup of egg in the cream cheese mixture…?
Sorry about that, Cheryl! It’s 1/2 an egg in the cream cheese mixture. I just updated. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Julie, this looks so delicious! I will be making this bread this weekend for my 4 grandsons. Quick question – recipe reads “1/2 cup egg”. Can you clarify for me?
I’m SO sorry! I updated it – it’s 1/2 of an egg. I can’t wait to hear what they think. Enjoy your time with them this weekend!
