Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups (155 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 12 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preparation: Calibrate the oven to 350F (175C) and line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats to prevent adhesion.
- Creaming: Amalgamate softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a mixing bowl, whipping vigorously until the mixture transforms into a light, fluffy consistency, approximately 2-3 minutes of dynamic blending.
- Flavor Infusion: Integrate vanilla extract thoroughly into the creamy foundation, ensuring uniform distribution of aromatic essence.
- Dry Ingredient Integration: Sift flour and baking powder, then delicately fold these dry elements into the wet mixture, maintaining a smooth texture while avoiding excessive manipulation.
- Oreo Incorporation: Gently fold crushed Oreo cookies throughout the dough, creating a balanced distribution of cookie fragments for optimal flavor and texture.
- Portioning and Positioning: Shape uniform dough balls, strategically placing them on prepared baking sheets with adequate spacing to accommodate spreading during baking.
- Baking and Finishing: Slide trays into the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until cookie edges stabilize and surfaces achieve a slightly elevated profile. After removing from oven, allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack for complete temperature equalization.
Notes
- Soften Ingredients Perfectly: Allow butter and cream cheese to reach room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth, lump-free blending and optimal texture.
- Prevent Overmixing: Gently fold dry ingredients and Oreo cookies into the dough, stopping just when combined to maintain a tender, delicate cookie structure.
- Consistent Cookie Size: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon measure to create uniform cookies that bake evenly and look professionally prepared.
- Watch Baking Time Carefully: Check cookies at 10 minutes, as oven temperatures vary; look for slightly golden edges and set centers to avoid overbaking and dry results.
