Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups (270 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for optimal cookie performance.
- Sift together dry ingredients including flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl to ensure smooth incorporation and eliminate potential lumps.
- Create a creamy base by vigorously beating softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes light and airy, developing a fluffy texture.
- Enhance the base by incorporating eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the ingredients are completely integrated and form a uniform consistency.
- Gradually introduce dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently folding to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Carefully fold crushed chocolate sandwich cookies into the dough, distributing them evenly while preserving their distinct cookie chunks.
- Portion the dough using rounded tablespoons, placing each scoop approximately 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets to allow proper spreading during baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, focusing on achieving set edges while maintaining soft, slightly underbaked centers for optimal cookie texture.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize their structure before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling and maximum flavor development.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Gently fold ingredients to maintain the cookie’s soft, tender texture and avoid tough, dense results.
- Customize Cookie Size: Use a cookie scoop for uniform shapes or adjust size for smaller or larger treats based on preference.
- Enhance Flavor Depth: Slightly toast crushed cookies before adding to the dough to intensify their rich, chocolate flavor profile.
- Dietary Adaptations: Swap regular flour with gluten-free alternatives and use dairy-free butter substitutes for allergy-friendly version.
