how to make Cookies and Cream Cookie
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. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set them aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar together on medium speed until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue mixing until it is smooth. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to mix everything well.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until the cookie dough forms. Then, add the chopped cookies and white chocolate chips, mixing until they are evenly spread throughout the dough.
- Use a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons of dough) to scoop out cookie portions. Roll the dough into a ball, then gently press down on each ball to flatten it slightly.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. It’s okay if the centers appear a bit underbaked. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy your homemade Cookies and Cream Cookies!
