05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
06 - Gently fold in chopped chocolate sandwich cookies and white chocolate chips using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

09 - Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The texture is somehow both crisp around the edges and ridiculously soft in the center
  • They strike that perfect balance between nostalgic childhood treats and something slightly more special
02 -
  • Overmixing once the flour is added makes tough cookies, so treat that final mix gently
  • Room temperature ingredients combine more evenly than cold ones
03 -
  • Weighing the flour instead of using measuring cups gives the most consistent results
  • Cooling the cookies on the pan, not immediately removing them, completes the baking process
