Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 14 cups all-purpose flour
- 12 cup unsalted butter, browned
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 8 Oreos, cut into chunks
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- 14 cup light brown sugar
- 14 cup dark brown sugar
- 14 cup granulated sugar
- 14 cup white chocolate chips
- 14 cup ube halaya
Spices and Extracts:
- 12 teaspoons (0.5 teaspoons) baking soda
- 14 teaspoons (0.25 teaspoons) salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ube extract
Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl until thoroughly blended, creating a uniform dry ingredient base.
- Brown butter in a separate bowl, then vigorously combine with light brown, dark brown, and granulated sugars until smooth and integrated.
- Incorporate egg, vanilla extract, ube extract, and ube halaya into the sugar-butter mixture, stirring until the ingredients create a cohesive, vibrant purple-hued batter.
- Delicately fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, ensuring minimal overmixing. Gently integrate Oreo chunks and white chocolate chips throughout the dough.
- Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to enhance flavor development and improve cookie texture.
- Heat oven to 350F (175C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper, carefully portioning dough into evenly spaced mounds.
- Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes until edges turn golden brown. Allow cookies to rest on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Brown butter carefully to enhance nutty flavor without burning, watching color and smell closely during the process.
- Chill dough thoroughly to prevent spreading and ensure thick, chewy cookie texture with concentrated flavors.
- Swap ube halaya with ube powder or extract for easier ingredient accessibility while maintaining authentic purple color and taste.
- Consider using gluten-free flour blend for celiac or gluten-sensitive individuals without compromising cookie’s rich, creamy texture.
