Description
These decadent cookies combine the tangy richness of cream cheese with the classic crunch of chopped Oreo sandwich cookies. Loaded with sweet white chocolate chips and chilled for maximum thickness, they deliver a soft, pillowy texture that stands out from your average bakery treat.
Ingredients
- 4 oz full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl or using a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the butter and beat until creamy.
- Add the granulated and brown sugars to the cream cheese mixture and beat on high for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, beating for another minute and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Turn the mixer to low and add the dry ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.
- Gently fold in the chopped Oreo chunks and white chocolate chips by hand.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to prevent the cookies from spreading too thin.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Scoop heaping 1.5 tablespoon balls of dough and place them 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–13 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To achieve a professional bakery look, reserve a handful of the chopped Oreo pieces and white chocolate chips to press into the tops of the dough balls right before baking. Additionally, make sure your cream cheese is the full-fat brick style rather than the spreadable tub variety to ensure the dough maintains its structure and rich flavor profile.
