Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 15 Oreo cookies (roughly chopped)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer or wooden spoon until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition to incorporate fully. Then mix in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt throughout the flour.
- Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the cookies.
- Fold in Oreos and White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the roughly chopped Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips to the cookie dough, ensuring they are evenly dispersed without crushing the cookies too much.
- Scoop Dough and Bake: Using a rounded tablespoon, scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookie edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough to maintain a soft and tender texture in the final cookies.
- For an enhanced Oreo flavor, press a few extra Oreo chunks on top of each dough ball before baking.
- These cookies freeze well after baking, making for an easy make-ahead treat.
