Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter cold
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup peppermint oreos (or peppermint joe-joe's) crushed
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine butter and brown sugar. Mix for 2 minutes until butter and brown sugar are completely combined and fluffier. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until just combined. 
  2. Add flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dry ingredients are just combined. Add crushed oreos and white chocolate chips. Mix until they’re evenly distributed through the dough. 
  3. If you have a kitchen scale, measure out 6 oz of dough. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, measure out 3/4 cup of dough. Form the dough into a cylinder shape. This will help the cookie bake well. Repeat with remaining dough. (If you want smaller cookies, measure out 2.5 oz of dough, or 1/4 cup.)
  4. Transfer the dough balls to a lightly greased or lined baking sheet. If you’ve made 6oz cookies, bake for 8-9 minutes, until the outside of each cookie is just set. If you’ve made 2.5oz cookies, bake for 5-6 minutes, until the outside of each cookie is just set. 
  5. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. 
  6. Keep any leftover cookies in a sealed container. Cookies will keep for 4-5 days. Enjoy!
