How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s get to the fun part—baking these delicious cookies!
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set 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, using an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until well combined.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and lump-free. Don’t forget to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula!
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until a cookie dough forms.
- Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons of dough), scoop the cookie dough and roll it into a ball with your hands. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, gently pressing down on each cookie slightly.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. It’s perfectly fine if the centers look a little underbaked; they will continue to cook as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your cookies turn out perfectly every time:
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients; this keeps the cookies soft and chewy.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a little sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
- If you want to make these cookies even more indulgent, try adding a few extra white chocolate chips or Oreo pieces!
How to Serve
These cookies are perfect on their own, but why not elevate your dessert experience? Here are some serving suggestions:
- Pair them with a glass of cold milk for a classic treat.
- Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delicious sundae.
- Crush them up and use them as a topping for Cookies And Cream Granite or other desserts.
- For a fun twist, sandwich two cookies with a layer of frosting or whipped cream!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you want to prepare these cookies in advance, here’s how to store them:
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- You can also freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months. Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to bake, just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
- For a fun twist, try making Chocolate Chip Cookies And Cream Cookies by adding chocolate chips to the mix!
