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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese and softened unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until combined and fluffy.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mascarpone mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Gently fold in the crushed Oreos until evenly incorporated.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Using the bottom of a glass or your palm, gently flatten each dough ball slightly to give them a cookie shape.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Once the cookies are completely cool, dust them generously with powdered sugar to create a snowflake effect.
Step 12
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.
