Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups flour (195 grams)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups crushed peppermint oreos

Instructions

  1. Add the butter, brown sugar, and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix for 5-6 minutes, until totally incorporated and lighter in color.
  2. Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Add flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix until just combined.
  3. Add crushed peppermint oreos and mix until just combined. Using a kitchen scale, weigh each dough ball out to 6oz (you can make them smaller if you want, just decrease the bake time accordingly!).
  4. Cover the dough balls and transfer to the fridge for at least 4 hours (or the freezer for 2 hours).
  5. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Transfer the dough balls to a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies are barely starting to brown.
  6. Let the cookies cool completely and enjoy! If you want, top with a drizzle of white chocolate and crushed oreos.
