Ingredients
Chocolate Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp espresso powder optional
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup black cocoa powder
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup crushed Oreos about 10 cookies
Lemon Berry Buttercream
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened
- 7 cups powdered sugar
- 5 tbsp milk or heavy cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon extract or juice
- 1 tsp raspberry or strawberry flavoring
- yellow, pink or purple, and blue food coloring
Toppings
- 1/2 cup white chocolate melted
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreos or to taste
Instructions
- Cream softened butter with both sugars until fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla and optional espresso powder.
- Whisk flour, black cocoa, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in two additions. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in crushed Oreos. Chill dough for 30 minutes to ensure thickness when baked.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough into 1/4 cup portions and bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges set and tops lose gloss.
- Cool cookies fully before frosting.
- Beat softened butter for frosting. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with milk or cream, until fluffy. Stir in vanilla.
- Divide frosting into 3 bowls. Flavor and color: yellow lemon, pink/purple berry, blue vanilla. Swirl a small dollop of each color on each cookie using gentle strokes.
- Drizzle cookies with melted white chocolate and finish with crushed Oreos.
Notes
Keep dough chilled to ensure thick cookies. Use a light hand when swirling frosting to preserve pastel tones. Frost only fully cooled cookies for best swirl definition. For a sharper look and firmer bite, serve slightly chilled. For a creamier texture, serve at room temp.
