Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Chop up the Oreos into bite-sized pieces. Use a serrated knife to gently saw back and forth to prevent the cookies from breaking apart.
Step 3
Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
Step 4
Using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes on medium-high speed).
Step 5
Mix in the vanilla and egg.
Step 6
Mix the dry ingredients and right before the dough comes together, toss in the sprinkles and mix for a couple more seconds until they’re evenly distributed.
Step 7
Use a large cookie scoop to make 15-16 cookies. Place 5-6 cookies onto your baking sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are a VERY light golden color.
Step 8
Right when you take them out of the oven, press a few Oreo pieces into the tops. Make sure it breaks through the surface and touches the doughy center. This helps them stick.
Step 9
Transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for 15 minutes.
Step 10
Now dig in!

Chef's notes
*Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a flat edge to ensure you don’t use too much.
**Clear vanilla extract is how you get that “funfetti birthday cake” flavor. If you don’t have access to it, regular vanilla extract is also OK to use!
