Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow flavors to develop and prevent excessive spreading.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Scoop dough into rounded tablespoons and place on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 13 minutes or until edges are set but the center remains soft.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature to avoid lumps in the dough. Do not skip the chilling phase, as it is essential for the structure and texture of the cookies. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain softness.
