Cuisine: American
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup crushed cookies
- 1 cup mixed berries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in crushed cookies and mixed berries, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted – this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the most intense flavor and best texture.
- For extra consistency, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you have time.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes to ensure even baking.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- For an extra indulgent touch, you can drizzle white chocolate over the cooled cookies.
- If the berries are very juicy, consider lightly coating them in flour to prevent color bleeding into the dough.
