Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos), coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside for later use.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps achieve a tender cookie texture.
- Add the wet ingredients: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Then add the sour cream or plain yogurt and mix until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make cookies tough.
- Add the cookies and chocolate chips: Gently fold in the coarsely chopped chocolate sandwich cookies and mini chocolate chips if using, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop the dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft and chewy. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a tangier flavor, use sour cream instead of yogurt.
- Mini chocolate chips are optional but add extra chocolatey bites.
- Do not overbake; centers should remain soft for the best texture.
- Make sure butter is softened but not melted for proper creaming.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
