How To Make Cookies and Cream Cookies
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
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened, at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 Oreo or chocolate sandwich cookies (coarsely chopped)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until it mixes well.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Remember to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until you have cookie dough. Then, add the chopped Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips. Mix until they are evenly spread out in the dough.
- Use a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to scoop out the cookie dough. Roll them into balls and press them down slightly. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. It’s fine if the centers look a bit underbaked. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
