How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the centers look set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
