Chewy Birthday Cake Cookies

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, sift the flour. Add in the baking soda and salt. Set aside. Using a food processor or blender, blend 4 Oreos into a fine crumb. Measure out 1/4 cup of crumbs. Pulse 8 Oreos 2-3 times into Oreo pieces. Measure out 1 cup of Oreo pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Using a mixer in a separate bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Add in the clear vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. Mix on high for 1 minute.

Step 3

Add in the dry ingredients. Mix on low until combined. This will be a thick cookie dough. Add in the sprinkles, Oreo crumbs, and Oreo pieces. Mix on low until just combined.

Step 4

Prepare 2 cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Use a 3oz cookie scoop to scoop large cookie dough balls. Place 6 balls per cookie sheet. Chill the cookie dough balls in the fridge until cold about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake 1 cookie sheet at a time for 13-15 minutes. Bake until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Step 6

Top the cookies when warm with extra sprinkles and golden Oreo pieces. Let the cookies sit for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
