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 oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Set them aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar on medium speed until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and lump-free. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Switch to low speed and slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Mix until the cookie dough forms. Then, add the chopped cookies and white chocolate chips, mixing until evenly combined.
- Use a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons of dough) to scoop the dough. Roll the dough into a ball and gently press it down.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. It’s fine if the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
