Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 Oreos, roughly chopped (classic or double-stuffed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the butter and cream cheese mixture. Beat until combined. Mix in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chopped Oreos carefully to keep chunks intact.
  7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential to keep cookies soft and prevent spreading. Avoid overmixing flour to maintain tenderness. Cookies may look slightly underbaked when removed but will finish cooking as they cool. Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture and flavor. Variations include swapping Oreos for chocolate chips or using gluten-free flour.
