Description

Deliciously soft cookies featuring ube flavor combined with crunchy Oreo bits for a fun and rich treat.


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

  1. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Egg and Flavorings: Mix in the egg, vanilla, ube extract, and ube halaya. Beat until well combined and smooth.
  4. Add Dry to Wet: Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture on low speed until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  5. Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped Oreos using a spatula.
  6. Chill the Dough: Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  7. 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.
  8. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers look just slightly underdone.
  9. 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.
