Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 10 pieces Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 50 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese and softened unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy.
Add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until combined and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mascarpone mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the crushed Oreos until evenly incorporated.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball.
Using the bottom of a glass or your palm, gently flatten each dough ball slightly to give them a cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cool, dust them generously with powdered sugar to create a snowflake effect.
Serve and enjoy your Mascarpone Oreo Snowflake Cookies with a warm beverage, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
