Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed (165 g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons ube powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups crushed sandwich cookies (like Oreos)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ube powder until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer or wooden spoon, beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in crushed cookies and cream mix-ins, distributing evenly without overworking the dough.
  7. Drop dough mounds about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets using a tablespoon or cookie scoop. Slightly flatten each mound.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and slightly golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish setting.

Notes

If cookies spread too much, chill dough for 15-20 minutes before baking. Use room temperature butter for best creaming results. Fold crushed cookies gently to avoid turning them into powder. Adjust ube powder or extract to taste for stronger flavor. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free blend and use gluten-free mix-ins. Vegan adaptations include using vegan butter, flax eggs, and dairy-free cookies.
