BraveTart's Cookies 'n' Cream Cookies Recipe

Directions

1. 1.

   Make the Dough: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 350°F (180°C). Combine butter, coconut oil, sugar, salt, baking powder, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low to moisten, then increase to medium and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, pausing to scrape bowl with a flexible spatula halfway through. With mixer running, add egg and continue beating until smooth. Reduce speed to low, add flour, and mix to form a stiff dough, then add frozen cookie pieces and continue mixing until well combined.

2. 2.

   Portion the Dough: With a scoop, divide dough into 2-tablespoon portions. With your hands, roll each piece smooth and round. (If you like, portioned dough can be refrigerated in a heavy-duty zipper-lock bag up to 1 week, or frozen 6 months. Stand at room temperature until quite soft, about 70°F/21°C, and proceed as directed.)

3. 3.

   Bake the Dough: Arrange portions on a parchment-lined half sheet pan, leaving 2 inches between cookies to account for spread. With the palm of your hand, flatten each into a 1/2-inch disk; if you like, garnish with extra Oreo crumbs. Bake until puffed and firm around the edges, and pale overall but with a hint of browning around the very edges, about 12 minutes. Cool directly on baking sheet until crumb is set, about 5 minutes. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature.
