Ingredients
4ouncescream cheesesoftened
1/2cupunsalted butterroom temperature
1cupbrown sugar
1large eggroom temperature
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1 1/2cupsall-purpose flour
1/2cupinstant dry milk powder
3/4teaspoonbaking soda
1/2teaspoonbaking powder
1/2teaspoonsalt
1cupwhite chocolate chips
2cupscoarsely chopped Oreo cookiesabout 18 cookies
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, butter, and brown sugar until well combined. Add egg and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix until combined. Fold in the chopped Oreos by hand. Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roll 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into balls (I use one scoop each of my #40 and #60 cookie scoops). Place cookies several inches apart on the baking sheet and flatten to about half their height (this helps them bake to a more uniform height).
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are still soft. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the pan before removing to a cooling rack and cool completely.
Notes
I’ve used both full fat and 1/3 less fat cream cheese for these cookies both with good results. I usually break the Oreos into fourths.Slightly adapted by these from Mel and these from Joy.
