Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup Brown sugar packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup White granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Clear vanilla extract
  • 1 Large egg room temperature
  • 1 Egg yolk room temperature
  • ½ cup Rainbow sprinkles
  • 1 cup Golden Oreo pieces
  • ¼ cup Golden Oreo crumbs

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, sift the flour. Add in the baking soda and salt. Set aside. Using a food processor or blender, blend 4 Oreos into a fine crumb. Measure out ¼ cup of crumbs. Pulse 8 Oreos 2-3 times into Oreo pieces. Measure out 1 cup of Oreo pieces. Set aside.
    2 ¾ cup All-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon Baking soda, 1 teaspoon Salt, 1 cup Golden Oreo pieces, ¼ cup Golden Oreo crumbs
  • Using a mixer in a separate bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Add in the clear vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. Mix on high for 1 minute.
    1 cup Unsalted butter, ½ cup Brown sugar, 1 cup White granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon Clear vanilla extract, 1 Large egg, 1 Egg yolk
  • Add in the dry ingredients. Mix on low until combined. This will be a thick cookie dough. Add in the sprinkles, Oreo crumbs, and Oreo pieces. Mix on low until just combined.
    ½ cup Rainbow sprinkles
  • Prepare 2 cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Use a 3oz cookie scoop to scoop large cookie dough balls. Place 6 balls per cookie sheet. Chill the cookie dough balls in the fridge until cold about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake 1 cookie sheet at a time for 13-15 minutes. Bake until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Top the cookies when warm with extra sprinkles and golden Oreo pieces. Let the cookies sit for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Flour- Make sure flour is spooned and leveled or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour can dry out the cookies and lead to them not spreading.
High altitude baking- Add an extra 2 tablespoon of flour.
Pull out dairy ingredients 2 hours before baking.
