Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
- 24 chocolate candy melts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft chocolate dough forms.
- Fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, gently press a chocolate candy melt into the center of each warm cookie.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, ensure that you measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the flour and cocoa powder if possible to achieve the perfect texture.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies maintain their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they bake. They should be set around the edges but still soft in the center. Remember, they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Experiment with Toppings: While chocolate candy melts are delicious, feel free to get creative! Try using white chocolate, caramel, or even peanut butter cups for a unique twist.
- Store Properly: To keep your Cookies n Creme Blossoms fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to 5 days, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
