Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (230 g / 8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ¼ cups (280 g / 10 oz) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150 g / 5.3 oz) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (150 g / 5.3 oz) brown sugar, packed
- 14 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 1 cup (175 g / 6 oz) white chocolate chips
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare Workspace: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment, ensuring effortless cookie removal and optimal baking surface.
- Create Creamy Base: Cream butter and sugars using electric mixer until fluffy and pale, integrating ingredients into a smooth, airy consistency that forms the foundation of the cookie’s texture.
- Develop Wet Mixture: Blend eggs and vanilla into butter-sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly to create a cohesive, rich liquid base that will bind the cookie dough perfectly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together, then gently fold into wet ingredients, mixing minimally to maintain a tender, delicate cookie structure without developing excess gluten.
- Enhance Flavor Profile: Carefully fold chopped Oreos and white chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution and creating pockets of intense flavor in every bite.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop uniform dough portions onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them generously to allow for natural spreading, then bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden and centers remain slightly soft.
- Finishing Touch: Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to wire rack for complete cooling, developing the perfect crisp exterior and soft, chewy interior.
Notes
- Manage Butter Temperature: Ensure butter is softened but not melted for optimal cookie texture, creating a creamy base that supports perfect structure and even mixing.
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir dry ingredients into wet components just until combined, avoiding tough cookies by keeping gluten development minimal during the blending process.
- Optimize Oreo Distribution: Chop Oreos into varied sizes to create interesting texture pockets, ensuring some chunks remain larger while others crumble throughout the dough for maximum flavor complexity.
- Control Baking Precision: Remove cookies from oven when edges are golden but centers appear slightly underbaked, recognizing they’ll continue setting during cooling and prevent potential dryness.
