Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened, at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 10 Oreo or chocolate sandwich cookies (coarsely chopped)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or use silpat/silicone baking mats to prevent sticking. Set aside for later use.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Set this mixture aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to incorporate all ingredients.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix just until cookie dough forms and avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Incorporate Cookies and White Chocolate: Gently fold in the coarsely chopped Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips until evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
- Scoop and Shape Dough: Use a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball and gently press down slightly to flatten the cookies before baking.
- Bake Cookies: Arrange the shaped dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookie edges are set but the centers may still look slightly underbaked.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute Oreos with any chocolate sandwich cookies of your choice.
- For a crunchier cookie, bake an additional 1-2 minutes, but be careful not to overbake.
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for proper creaming with sugar.
- Use fresh ingredients for best results, especially baking soda and powder to ensure proper rise.
