Oreo Cheese Soft Cookies

Some of you might know that I have promised to bake something this week (after my long disappearance). So here I am and pleased to present OREO CHEESE SOFT COOKIES! They are crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Packed with Oreos pieces and chocolate chips. Glad I made this as they are heavenly! The best part is they are so easy to make and almost fail proof!

These babies are able to stay soft and tasty for days. I used strawberry centered Oreos (that's the only thing in my pantry) but I would recommend using vanilla or chocolate centered ones. Again this recipe is from my dear baking partner, G who help made this a success!

Makes 20 large Cookies


Ingredients:
170 grams butter - soften at room temperature
1 cup fine granulated sugar
120g cram cheese
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
1 egg yolk
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup roughly crushed Oreo Cookies (Chocolate or Vanilla Centered) - I used strawberry


Method:

Preheat oven 180 degrees C

1) In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, cream cheese and vanilla. Add egg yolk and whiz at medium speed till well. 

2) Add flour and salt. Continue whizzing till combined.

3) Mix in chocolate chips and Oreo cookies with wooden spoon.

4) Using ice-cream scoop, scoop the cookie mixture onto the baking sheet and flatten a little. Please note that the shape doesn't change even after when it's done.
5) Bake for 12 -15 minutes. Until the bottom of the cookie turned brown. Pleas note that the top of the cookie is not supposed to be brown! DO NOT BURN!


Serves hot or cold as they are equally tasty! You can keep the cookies in air tight canister up to 2 weeks and they still taste wonderfully soft in the center!


I LOVE IT!! Will make them again soon!
