Description
Make rich, soft peppermint cookies filled with crushed Oreo cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed peppermint Oreos (about 12 cookies)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the crushed peppermint Oreos and white chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the tops with crushed peppermint candies.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a stronger peppermint flavor, you can add 1-2 drops of food-grade peppermint oil along with the extract.
- If you prefer a flatter cookie, press the dough balls down slightly before baking.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
