Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 oz (55g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (115g) butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 Oreo cookies (Double Stuf or regular), chopped into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. Using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl on high speed for 1 minute. Once creamy and smooth, add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until fluffy, and light in color. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients with the mixer running on low speed. Continue to beat until everything is combined. Using a large spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the chopped Oreos. over and chill dough for at least 2 hours (or up to 3 days).
  4. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow to soften slightly at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  6. Scoop 2 tablespoons dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place on the cookie sheet about 3 inches apart.
  7. Bake each batch for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. The cookies with look very soft in the centers. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.

Recipe Notes

These cookies only have that creamy texture if you don't overbake them!

You can make these festive by adding Christmas Oreos on top. I rolled my balls and then placed pieces of Winter (red) Oreos on top. If you fold in the Christmas Oreos they can start looking a little scary.
