Ingredients
| 2 1/4 cups (280 g) | all-purpose flour |
| 1 tsp | baking soda |
| 1 tsp | cornstarch |
| 3/4 tsp | salt |
| 2 oz (55 g) | cream cheese, softened to room temperature |
| 1/2 cup (115 g) | butter, softened to room temperature |
| 3/4 cup (150 g) | light brown sugar |
| 1/2 cup (100 g) | granulated sugar |
| 2 | eggs |
| 1 tsp | vanilla extract |
| 8 | Oreo® cookies (Double Stuf or regular), chopped into small pieces |
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.
- Using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl on high speed for 1 minute. Once creamy and smooth, add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until fluffy and light in color. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until combined. Using a large spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the chopped Oreos®. Cover and chill the dough for at least 2 hours (or up to 3 days).
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it soften slightly at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place on the cookie sheets about 3 in (7.5 cm) apart.
- Bake each batch for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned; the centers will look very soft. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. They stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
- Sally says: Pay attention to the bake time. You want to slightly underbake these cookies because they continue to cook on the sheet after you remove them from the oven — 10 minutes is the sweet spot.
