Ingredients

½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened slightly but still cool
-
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar, fresh and soft

½ cup white chocolate chips or chunks, plus extra for topping if desired
-

Instructions
-
Preheat & prepare
Preheat your oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. -
Combine dry ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and cornstarch. Set aside. -
Cream butter and sugars
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened (cool but pliable) unsalted butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This takes about 2‑3 minutes on medium speed. -
Add egg and vanilla
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter‑sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated, scraping down bowl sides as needed. -
Incorporate dry ingredients
Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix, to avoid tough cookies. -
Fold in the mix‑ins
Gently fold in the chopped Oreos and white chocolate chips (or chunks). If you want extra chocolate on top, reserve a few chips or chunks to press into the tops just before baking. -
Portion the dough
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form dough balls of about 1½ tablespoons per cookie. Place them on prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 in) between each to allow for spreading. -
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 10‑12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft. -
Cool
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For best texture, make sure butter is softened but not melted—cool and soft gives structure.
Don’t overbake; pull when edges are set but centers just soft—they firm up while cooling.
Chopping Oreos not too fine preserves crunch; mixing too much or pressing down too much can make texture dense.
Using cornstarch gives tenderness in the crumb—don’t skip it.
If you like gooey white chocolate, press a few extra chips into dough tops just as they come out of oven.
