Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 20 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Blue gel food coloring, amount as desired
Dry Ingredients
- 230 g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Sugars
- 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 50 g (1/4 cup) light brown sugar
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
Instructions
- Beat Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter along with the granulated sugar and light brown sugar for about 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
- Add Egg, Vanilla, and Coloring: Incorporate the egg, vanilla extract, and blue gel food coloring into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix again for approximately 1 minute until the batter is smooth and evenly colored.
- Sift and Fold Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, ensuring everything is combined without overmixing.
- Mix in Chocolate and Cookie Pieces: Add the dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, crushed mini cookies, and chopped Oreos to the dough. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes. This helps the dough firm up for easier handling and better-shaped cookies.
- Shape Cookies with Filling: Portion the dough and flatten each portion into a disc. Place one whole Oreo cookie in the center of the dough disc, then wrap the dough completely around the Oreo to encase it fully.
- Second Chill: Place the wrapped cookies on a lined baking sheet. Chill again in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or alternatively freeze for 15 minutes to set the shape before baking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the chilled cookies for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for several minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Using blue gel food coloring gives the dough a vibrant color without adding extra liquid.
- Chilling the dough twice ensures the cookies keep their shape and prevents the Oreos from bursting out during baking.
- You can substitute the whole Oreos with your preferred sandwich cookie for variation.
- The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; watch for golden edges while keeping centers soft.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
