Mix butter and sugars

• Mix the softened butter with the brown sugar and white sugar until it reaches a sand-like consistency.

Add eggs and vanilla

• Add the vanilla extract and the eggs, then mix until combined.

Combine dry ingredients

• Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
• Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, about a third at a time, mixing between additions.

Add Oreos and chocolate chips

• Chop up the Oreos.
• Fold the chocolate chips and chopped Oreos into the dough.

Form the dough balls

• Form the dough into taller, bigger balls to get a thick, bakery-style look.
• Top each ball with a whole Oreo or crushed Oreo pieces.

Freeze the dough

• Place the dough balls in the freezer.

Bake

• Bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown, longer than 15 minutes if needed.

Cool and serve

• Let the cookies cool on a rack or a cold plate.
• If they are too tall or cake-like, slightly bang the tray onto the counter as they come out of the oven to collapse the middle and create ripples.
