Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups (281g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces (113g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) light or dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ube extract
- ¼ cup ube halaya
- 1 cup (180g) white chocolate chips
- 1 ¼ cups (about 110g) chopped Oreos (about 10 cookies)
Instructions
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Wet Ingredients: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add both sugars and beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add Egg and Flavorings: Mix in the egg, vanilla, ube extract, and ube halaya. Beat until well combined and smooth.
- Add Dry to Wet: Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture on low speed until just combined. Don’t overmix.
- Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped Oreos using a spatula.
- Chill the Dough: Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Preheat & Scoop: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment. Scoop dough into 1.5–2 tablespoon-sized balls and space them 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers look just slightly underdone.
- Cool: Let cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use room temp egg and cream cheese for even mix. Chill the dough to prevent spreading too much.
