Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 drop pure peppermint extract (optional)
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 Oreos, chopped
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes or peppermints
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper right now.
- Cream 1/2 cup soft butter with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a stand mixer bowl for 3 minutes.
- Beat 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 drop peppermint extract into the butter mixture until smooth and combined.
- Whisk 1 3/4 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pudding mix, and 1 teaspoon baking soda in another bowl.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture slowly in the mixer on low speed and mix until you can’t see flour.
- Fold 12 chopped Oreos and 1/2 cup crushed candy canes into the dough gently with a spatula until spread evenly.
- Put the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes, so the cookies keep their shape and don’t spread too much during baking.
- Scoop dough onto your baking sheets with a cookie scoop, 2 inches space between each one, and bake 10 minutes.
- Cool cookies on a baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a cooling rack to cool all the way.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Adjust peppermint extract according to your taste preference.
