How To Make Cookies and Cream Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened, at room temperature)
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 10 Oreo or chocolate sandwich cookies (coarsely chopped)
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set these aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set this bowl aside.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar together until well mixed.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough is smooth. Be sure to scrape the bowl’s sides with a rubber spatula so everything is combined.
5. Switch to a low speed, and slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Mix just until the cookie dough forms.
6. Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips until they are spread evenly throughout the dough.
7. Use a small cookie scoop (2 tablespoons of dough) to make cookie balls. Shape them with your hands and press them down a little.
8. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set. They can look a bit underbaked in the middle, which is okay. Let them cool for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
