Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup min M&M's
  • 1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs*
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking mats and set aside.
  2. In the bowl of stand mixer, beat the shortening and sugars on medium-high until light and fluffy.
  3. With the mixer on medium, add in the eggs, 1 egg at a time, and mix to combine.
  4. Add in the vanilla extract and combine.
  5. Add in the flour, baking soda and salt and mix on low to combine, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. Add in the mint M&M's and white chocolate chips and mix on low.
  7. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and using a spatula, gently fold in the cookie crumbs so they don't break. Place the dough in the fridge to chill for 15-20 minutes**
  8. Using a 1.5 T scoop, place cookie dough balls on to the prepared sheet placing each 2 inches apart. Flatten the cookies to about half their original height. Bake for 8-9 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the bake time. While the cookies bake, place the remaining dough in the fridge to chill.**
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the pan 2-3 minute before transferring to a baking rack to cool completely.
  10. Store cookies at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Notes

*Make the Oreo cookie crumbs by pulsing 1.5 rows of Oreo cookies in the food processor for 8-12 seconds. The crumbs should be more on the chunkier side than the sandy side.
**If you do not chill the cookie dough before baking or between batches, the dough spreads too much in the oven, resulting in very thin and crispy cookies.
