Ingredients
  

For the dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened gives a rich, tender base
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar for light sweetness and slight crisp
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed adds chew and depth
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature bind and enrich the dough
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract lifts the cookies with floral warmth
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour the structure for the perfect chew
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda helps them rise just right
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt balances sweetness
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies for texture and flavor
  • 1 cup roughly chopped chocolate sandwich cookies for bigger chewy bites
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks (optional) for extra creamy pockets

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes).
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla until glossy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry mix to the wet, mixing until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the crushed and chopped chocolate sandwich cookies and white chocolate chips if using.
  • For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes (optional).

Baking

  • Using a cookie scoop, place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers still soft.
  • Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze cookie dough for up to 3 months. Optional: For a double chocolate version, replace 1/2 cup flour with cocoa powder.
