1 cup chopped Oreo cookies (approximately 10 cookies)

80 grams white chocolate chips (optional)

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
03 -
Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and blend until well combined.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined.
05 -
Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies, M&M's, and white chocolate chips if using. Avoid overmixing to maintain a chunky texture.
06 -
Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each mound approximately 5 cm apart.
07 -
Sprinkle pink and red sprinkles on top of each cookie dough mound if desired.
08 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers retain a slightly underbaked appearance for optimal chewiness.
09 -
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve fresh or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, avoid overmixing after adding the dry ingredients to ensure cookies remain soft and chewy.
