Crushing chocolate sandwich cookies is the secret base to these decadent cookies that are perfect for holiday gifting.
Ingredients
- 22 OREO Cookies
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 tbsp (½ stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup finely crushed candy canes or peppermint puffs, divided
Steps
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment. In a food processor, pulse the OREO cookies 1–2 min., until crumbs are a sandy texture. Transfer to a large bowl.
- To bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Add the butter, egg, and vanilla. Stir until just combined. Fold in all the chocolate chips and ¼ cup crushed candy canes.
- Using a cookie scoop or tbsp measure, scoop 1 tbsp cookie dough and roll into a ball; repeat with remaining dough. Place on prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle remaining crushed candy canes on top.
- Bake cookies 10–12 min., until cookies are puffed. Let cool on cookie sheets 5 min., then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
To crush candy canes, use a food processor or place in a large resealable bag and gently crush with a heavy skillet or rolling pin.
