Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature (substitute: ¾ cup coconut oil for dairy-free option)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar substitute: coconut sugar for refined sugar-free version
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed (substitute: coconut brown sugar or date sugar)
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature substitute: 2 flax eggs for vegan alternative
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract substitute: almond extract for nutty variation
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour substitute: gluten-free flour blend for celiac-friendly cookies
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies Oreos work perfectly
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips substitute: sugar-free white chocolate chips or vanilla chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and white chocolate chips.
  6. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, place dough balls on prepared sheets 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure butter is at room temperature to prevent dense cookies. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to maintain a soft texture.
