Ingredients
– 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese softened to room temperature
– 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
– 1 large egg at room temperature
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 1 and 1/4 cups roughly chopped sandwich cookies (about 10 whole cookies)
– Gluten-free flour blend
– Plant-based butter for vegan
– Sugar substitutes for low-calorie
Instructions
1-Gathering and Mixing Ingredients: Start your baking journey by getting all ingredients ready. First, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl to create a smooth dry mix. In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth, then add the butter and mix until fully combined for a creamy base.
2-Gathering and Mixing Ingredients: Next, add both sugars and beat until the mixture is even and lump-free, enhancing the texture of your dough. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, blending them in thoroughly to build rich flavors.
3-Combining and Chilling Dough: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ones until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the cookies tender. Stir in the white chocolate chips and chopped sandwich cookies to add that signature crunch and creaminess.
4-Combining and Chilling Dough: Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours; this step is crucial for the best texture. For more ideas on cookie dough techniques, visit our carrot cream cheese cupcakes recipe, which shares similar baking tips.
5-Baking and Cooling: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Roll the chilled dough into balls and place them on the sheets, spacing them out for even baking. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes until they are just right, then let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
