Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 drop pure peppermint extract optional if you like your cookies to have a more pronounced mint flavor
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3.4 ounce box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup Oreos chopped
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks cut from a bar of white chocolate
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes or peppermints
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
- Place the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in the bowl of a mixer. Beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract and peppermint extract (if using). Beat until combined.
- Add the flour, salt, pudding mix and baking soda to the bowl. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in 3/4 of the Oreos, white chocolate and candy canes.
- Take 2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Place the balls of dough 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. You will need to bake the cookies in batches.
- Press the remaining Oreos, candy canes and white chocolate onto the tops of the balls of dough.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until light brown at the edges.
- Cool the cookies on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Repeat the baking process with the remaining dough.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Keep your Oreo cookies in larger pieces – if you chop them too finely your cookies will turn gray.
- I use chopped white chocolate bar versus chips because I like a chunkier cookie. Also, white chocolate baking bars are often made with real cocoa butter and taste better than white chocolate chips, which are often made with palm oil.
- After you’ve rolled your cookie dough into balls, you can press some pieces of Oreo, chocolate and candy cane on top for a nice presentation.
