Instructions

For the Cookies:

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a large cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. To soften the butter quickly, microwave for 10-15 seconds, otherwise let it come to room temperature.
2. Chop the Pop-Tarts into small pieces.
3. Combine the butter with the sugars and beat on medium speed until well creamed together.
4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix into the butter and sugar until the eggs are well beaten.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Slowly add into the batter and beat on medium-low speed until most of the flour is incorporated, then add the Pop-Tarts and mix to combine. Increase the speed of the mixer and beat until the dough comes together.
6. Use a large cookie scoop to portion the dough. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press the top of the cookie flat before baking. You can cut up leftover Pop-Tart pieces to place on top of the dough balls if you want.
7. Bake at 350° F 10-12 minutes. Allow cookie to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
