Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 8 oz Cream cheese Use low-fat if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Must be softened.
  • 1 cup Sugar Use a sugar substitute if needed.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 large Egg
Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups All-purpose flour Substitute with a gluten-free blend if desired.
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Balances the sweetness.
Mix-ins
  • 12 oz Oreo cookies Chopped.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Beat in the egg until the mixture is creamy and everything is well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
  6. Gently stir in chopped Oreo cookies, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  2. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look soft but will firm up as they cool.
Cooling
  1. Let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother mixture. Chill the dough if too sticky. Slightly underbaked cookies will stay soft and chewy. You can add chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks for extra flavor.
