CHOCOLATE CHIP OREO CREAM COOKIES makes about 20 cookies
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 1 1 /3 cup all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ cup granulated sugar ¾ cup golden brown sugar 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/3 cup chocolate chips 6 Oreo cookies, chopped 1. Preheat oven 350° F. Line baking sheet with a baking mat or parchment paper. 2. In a small saucepan, brown your butter: Over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisking frequently, let the butter turn into an amber color. It will foam a little. Once it subsides and brown specks appears at the bottom of the pan, it will begin to have a nutty aroma. Once butter turns a light golden brown color, transfer to a bowl to cool or stick it in the freezer to cool faster. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. 4. In a bowl with electric mixer attachment, mix the brown butter with sugars. 5. Add egg and vanilla, mix to combine. 6. Add the dry ingredients (flour, etc.) into wet ingredients (butter, etc). 7. Using a rubber spatula, mix in cream cheese slightly. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped Oreos. 8. Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, about 2 minutes apart each. 9. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden. Let cookies cool slightly on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on cooling rack.
