Out of the five different types of holiday cookies I made this year for Christmas Cookies Week, this one was definitely the biggest pain in the tuckus. Now, don’t get me wrong, it did eventually end up being an extraordinary and absolutely scrumptious cookie, however, it took quite a while to get there. And really, I have no one to blame but myself. You see, I was so focused on the 25% more claim on the Oreo package, that I failed to notice that the package I picked up was Double Stuf Oreo cookies instead of plain. Guess what happens when you add more filling to a cookie dough that is already rather wet? Nothing good y’all. Nothing good.

After baking a few cookies at a time, and experimenting with the recipe, I finally found just the right combination to make these cookies perfect. So, no matter what you do, make sure to not even attempt using Double Stuf Oreo cookies for this recipe. Trust me on this. More is not always better. Especially in this case. Also, make sure that the crushed cookies are evenly distributed throughout your cookie dough. If not, then some cookies will be flatter than others. And with these cookies, flat isn’t a good thing. You want these little gems to be all puffed up and loaded with crushed Oreo goodness. You know, just like Santa; fat, round, and jolly.

  4. Add the vanilla; mix for 30 seconds on medium speed.

  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to place mounds of the cookie dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle each cookie with a bit of crushed peppermint. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until baked through.
  9. Allow the cookies to rest for at least 5 minutes before removing them to a baking rack to finish cooling completely.

Suggestions:

  • You will need to use cake flour for this recipe. You can find cake flour in the baking aisle of your local market, or you can make your own cake flour by adding 2-tablespoons of corn starch to 1-cup minus 2-tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Sift the flour and corn starch together at least twice with a fine mesh sieve. Make sure to measure out your homemade cake flour before using it. Some air will be incorporated into it during sifting.
  • Make sure to evenly distribute the crushed cookies throughout the cookie dough. This will help the cookies keep their mounded shape and prevent them from flattening out during baking.
  • Do not use Double Stuf Oreo cookies for this recipe. If you do, the dough will be too wet.
  • You will need to chill this dough for at least 1 hour. Do not skip this step or the cookies will not keep their mounded shape during baking. I suggest, between baking batches, you refrigerate any leftover dough.
  • I definitely do not recommend using a Silpat for this cookie recipe, use parchment paper instead. It will be easier to remove the cookies if you have any excess peppermint sprinkled on the parchment paper.
  • This recipe will yield 2 to 2 1/2 dozen cookies, depending on how large you make the cookies.

Improvements:

  • Fold a few miniature chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
  • Use Golden Oreo Cookies for this recipe.
  • Add thinly sliced almonds to the cookie dough for extra crunch and flavor.
