Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and peanut butter until smooth.
- Whisk in the sugar and light brown sugar until combined.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla bean paste and whisk vigorously for 1 minute or until thick and glossy.
- Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate and Oreo pieces.
- Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper and use a 2 TBSP cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough into 12 cookies.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
- When ready to bake preheat the oven to 350 and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Optional – roll the cookie dough into smooth balls between your palms.
- Place 6 cookies per tray leaving plenty of room for the cookies to spread.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly under baked.
- Remove from oven, but let cookies sit on the hot sheet pans for 3-5 minutes to finish baking, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- While the cookies are still hot top with extra chocolate chips and Oreo pieces and flaky salt.
Notes
- To make dough ahead- follow instructions as written, but instead of placing the dough in the fridge, place it in an airtight container or freezer zip lock bag and keep in the freezer for 3-6 months. When ready to bake, set frozen dough on the counter for 20-30 minutes, then bake as directed.
