Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crank your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- Whisk 1 ½ cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt together in a medium mixing bowl.
- Grab another bowl and cream ½ cup softened butter with ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup brown sugar until the mixture looks smooth and fluffy.
- Crack 1 large room temperature egg into the butter mixture and pour in 1 tsp vanilla extract, then blend until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Slowly incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to prevent overmixing.
- Pulse 1 cup of Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs, then fold them into the dough.
- Blend 4 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar until completely smooth, then gently mix into the cookie dough.
- Using a tablespoon, drop rounded cookie portions onto the prepared baking sheets, keeping them 2 inches apart.
- Slide the sheets into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges and soft centers.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother cookie texture.
- Crush Oreo cookies into small pieces but not too fine, so you get delightful cookie chunks in each bite.
- Chill the dough for 15-30 minutes before baking to help cookies maintain their shape and prevent excessive spreading.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free Oreo-style cookies.
