Giant Golden Oreo White Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Golden Oreo obsession is real!

I've got a confession to make—I'm wholeheartedly convinced that golden Oreos reign supreme in the Oreo kingdom. Their buttery, vanilla-flavored cookies and sweet cream filling are like a ray of sunshine in the world of cookies. So, it's only fitting that we take these golden delights and turn them into something even more spectacular: Giant Golden Oreo White Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Ingredients:

- 1 cup cold butter (cut into cubes)

- 1 cup brown sugar

- 2 eggs

- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon cornstarch

- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup white chocolate chips

- 10 Golden Oreos, finely chopped

Let's Dive into Golden Bliss:

1. Golden Butter Magic:

Preheat your oven to 415°F (213°C) for that perfect cookie texture. In a stand mixer, place 1 cup of cold, cubed butter and 1 cup of brown sugar. Beat these heavenly ingredients until they become light and fluffy. This is the magical base for our giant cookies.

2. Egg-cellent Addition:

Add in two eggs, one at a time, while continuing to mix. This ensures that the eggs are beautifully incorporated, resulting in a tender and moist cookie.

3. Flourish of Gold:

It's time to introduce the dry ingredients that will transform our dough into golden cookie paradise. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. This blend will add structure and texture to our cookies.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter and sugar mixture with your stand mixer on low speed. Mix until everything is just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; we want these giant cookies to be soft and chewy.

4. Golden Indulgence:

Now, let's take our cookies to the next level of golden indulgence. Fold in 1 cup of white chocolate chips. Their creamy sweetness pairs perfectly with the Golden Oreos, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors and textures.

5. Golden Oreo Glory:

Chop up 10 Golden Oreos into fine pieces and gently fold them into the cookie dough. This step infuses every bite with that unmistakable Golden Oreo flavor and a delightful crunch.

6. Chill Time:

Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough not only makes it easier to handle but also helps prevent excessive spreading during baking. This is a crucial step in achieving the perfect texture and thickness of your Giant Golden Oreo White Chocolate Chip Cookies.

7. Colossal Cookies:

Our cookies are meant to be colossal, so portion out hockey puck-sized balls of dough. Each cookie should be approximately 1/4 cup of dough. This size ensures a soft and thick center, surrounded by a slightly crispy exterior.

8. Bake to Golden Perfection:

Place your portioned dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly undercooked. This will result in the perfect balance of soft and fudgy cookies.

9. Let Them Rest:

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. During this time, they will continue to firm up, ensuring they maintain their shape when transferred to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is essential for achieving the ideal texture and will prevent the cookies from falling apart as you savor them.

10. Golden Indulgence Awaits:

Once your Giant Golden Oreo White Chocolate Chip Cookies have cooled, it's time to indulge in the golden goodness. Grab a cookie, take a bite, and let the sweet, buttery flavor of Golden Oreos and the creamy richness of white chocolate chips envelop your taste buds.

These colossal cookies are perfect for sharing, gifting, or enjoying as a well-deserved treat. Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.

So, go ahead and treat yourself to these Giant Golden Oreo White Chocolate Chip Cookies. They're a testament to the golden glory of Golden Oreos and a delightful twist on a classic cookie. Enjoy every luscious bite! 🍪🤩
