Golden Birthday Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

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.

Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

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).

Mix in the vanilla and egg.

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.

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.

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.

Transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for 15 minutes.

Now dig in!
