Ingredients

Scale

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 to 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and set them aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and salt in the dough.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until smooth with no lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until a cookie dough forms to avoid overworking the dough which could result in tough cookies.
  6. Add Cookies and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop and Shape Dough: Using a small cookie scoop (approximately 2 tablespoons of dough), scoop portions and lightly round them with your hands. Place them spaced apart onto the prepared baking sheets and gently press down just a little to flatten slightly.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which helps keep cookies soft.
  9. Cool: Remove cookies from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Serve these delectable Cookies and Cream Cookies once cooled or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients to keep the cookies tender.
  • Softened butter rather than melted butter ensures a chewy texture.
  • You can substitute other sandwich cookies if Oreo is unavailable.
  • White chocolate chips add a creamy sweetness that complements the bitterness of the cookies.
  • These cookies freeze well; freeze dough balls and bake fresh when desired.
  • Allow cookies to cool properly to avoid them breaking apart when transferring.
