Ingredients
Dairy and Fats
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
Sweeteners and Flavorings
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
Eggs
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Add-ins
- 8 Oreo cookies (roughly chopped)
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Increase the heat to medium and stir constantly until the butter foams and the white milk solids at the bottom turn a light brown with a nutty aroma. Pour the browned butter into a large bowl to cool slightly.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Peanut Butter and Butter: Whisk the smooth peanut butter into the cooled brown butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Sugars and Flavor: Mix in the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, kosher salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly blended.
- Incorporate Eggs: Add the two room temperature eggs and whisk thoroughly until the batter is uniform.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Pour in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Fold the mixture gently with a rubber spatula until a smooth dough forms.
- Mix in Oreo Pieces: Stir the roughly chopped Oreo cookies into the dough, ensuring even distribution.
- Portion Cookies: Use a tablespoon or large cookie scoop to portion out 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place the dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart. Optionally, sprinkle extra chopped Oreo pieces over each dough ball for extra texture.
- Bake: Bake each sheet individually in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cookie edges are set but the centers remain slightly underdone to ensure a chewy texture.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation and texture.
- Brown butter adds a richer, nutty flavor compared to regular melted butter.
- Overbaking can lead to dry cookies; remove cookies when edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Extra chopped Oreos on top give a nice decorative touch and additional crunch.
