Oreo Birthday Cake Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter - softened
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract see note
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup birthday cake oreo crumbs ~8 cookies, I used a mix of regular and golden
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles
- Optional: additional oreo chunks chocolate chips, and sprinkles for topping
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 °F
-
Using a mixer cream together the butter and sugars
-
Add the vanilla and the egg
-
In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and oreo crumbs
-
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat until just combined
-
Place the chocolate chips and sprinkles in the bowl and mix until evenly distributed (with a stand mixer on low speed these should only take a few seconds)
-
Using a small cookie scoop form balls of cookie dough and place onto a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper
-
If desired place extra oreo chunks, chocolate chips, and a dash of sprinkles on top (see note)
-
Bake at 375 °F for 12-14 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden around the edges
-
Let sit on the cookie sheet for ~3 minutes, then remove to a wire cooling rack
Recipe Notes
- I HIGHLY recommend using the clear imitation vanilla for this recipe, I know that sounds strange, but it gives baked goods that funfetti flavor we all remember from childhood
- I used my mini food processor to make the oreo crumbs (I used 5 golden and 3 regular oreos) but you can also use a plastic bag and rolling pin, the crumbs should be the consistency of sand
- If you want to add the extra decorations I found that 1-2 chunks of oreo and 2-3 chocolate chips worked best as a topping, simply press them into the dough balls on the cookie sheet and add a few pinches of sprinkles on top
