Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or combination of white and regular chocolate chips)
- 25 Oreo cookies (15 regular and 10 golden), crushed
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a medium bowl, using a standing or hand mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 4 minutes. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Dry into Wet Mixture: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated, ensuring not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
- Add Oreos and Chocolate Chips: Crush the Oreo cookies using your preferred method—rolling pin, wooden spoon, or even by hand—and fold them along with the white chocolate chips into the cookie dough. Once combined, chill the dough in the refrigerator for approximately one hour to firm up.
- Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop or spoon the chilled cookie dough onto the sheet, spacing each dough portion 2 to 2 ½ inches apart to allow spreading during baking.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges just begin to turn golden brown. The centers should still look slightly soft.
- Cool and Store: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store any cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and more even baking.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent excessive spreading and enhances flavors.
- Feel free to mix regular and golden Oreos to add variety in flavor and color.
- Ensure butter is properly softened for easier creaming and better texture.
