Method
 

  1. 1. Prep & Cream:
    In a bowl, mix the butter (113g), sugar (130g), and salt (1g). Do not cream it until fluffy; just mix until it becomes a smooth, homogenous paste.
  2. 2. Add Egg:
    Stir in the cold egg until fully incorporated.
  3. 3. Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour (150g), Charcoal powder (8g), baking soda (1/2 tsp), and baking powder (1/4 tsp). Add this to the butter mixture and combine.
  4. 4. White Chocolate (Part 1):
    Crumble 9 Oreos and gently fold them into the dough. Do not overmix!
  5. 5. Portioning:
    Shape the dough into 9 equal balls.
  6. 6. Decorate & Chill:
    Cut the white chocolate into quarters and press some pieces onto the top of each dough ball. Cover and let them rest in the fridge for at least a few hours.
  7. 7. Bake:
    Preheat your oven to 170°C. Bake the cookies for 12 to 12.5 minutes.
  8. 8. Shape & Finish:
    Immediately after taking them out, use a round cookie cutter or a glass to gently "scoot" or circle around the cookies (Swirl Technique) to make them perfectly round.

Note on Net Carbs: If you use a sweetener like Erythritol, the "Sugar Alcohols" are usually not counted as carbs by the body. This makes these cookies very Keto-friendly!
