In a large bowl, add butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Cream until well combined. I used a regular spatula, but you can also use an electric mixer.

Add in egg and vanilla and continue mixing.

Toss in flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Fold until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix!

Add in chocolate chips, candy cane, and Oreos. Fold into the dough.

Bake 6 cookies at a time for 13-14 minutes. The center will look extra gooey and soft, but will have a crisp edge. That's when you know it's done. The cookies will continue to bake on the pan after you've removed them from the oven. Now would be the time to add extra toppings on top if desired.
