Wet Ingredients
- 20 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Blue gel food coloring, to desired shade
Sugars
- 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 50 g (1/4 cup) light brown sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 230 g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Add-ins
- 40 g (1/4 cup) dark chocolate chips
- 40 g (1/4 cup) white chocolate chips
- 30 g (1/4 cup) crushed mini cookies
- 3 Oreos, chopped
- 12 whole Oreos for stuffing
- Beat Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
- Add Egg, Vanilla, and Coloring: Mix in the room temperature egg, vanilla extract, and blue gel food coloring. Continue mixing for 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually fold these dry ingredients gently into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender dough.
- Add Mix-Ins: Fold in the dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, crushed mini cookies, and chopped Oreos evenly throughout the dough for a rich texture and flavor.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough container and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes. This helps the dough firm up and flavors to meld.
- Shape Cookies with Whole Oreos: Take portions of the chilled dough, flatten each piece, place one whole Oreo in the center, and carefully wrap the dough around the Oreo to enclose it fully.
- Pre-Chill the Shaped Cookies: Place the wrapped cookie dough balls on a lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes or alternatively, chill in the freezer for 15 minutes to set their shape before baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies on the lined sheet for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges turn lightly golden while the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Chilling the dough before baking is essential to maintain shape and deepen flavors.
- Use gel food coloring to avoid thinning the dough consistency.
- Wrap the Oreos tightly to prevent chocolate from leaking during baking.
- Cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
