Chocolate Cookies n Cream Cookies

Cookies n Creme was always my favorite Ice Cream flavor as a kid, and lets face it.. nothing beats the delicious mix of vanilla and chocolate cookie bits. These cookies are more crisp around the edges and tender in the middle of the cookie which gives them the "melts in your mouth" kind of feel. My favorite thing to do with these cookies and to get two of them and place a scoop of vanilla or cookies and creme ice cream in between them - tastes amazing!

2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 cup butter, room temperature

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup dark chocolate chips

3/4 cup white chocolate chips

1 1/4 cups chopped oreo-type cookies

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder.

In a larger bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. With the mixer on low speed or by hand, stir in the flour mixture, mixing just until no streaks of dry ingredients remain. Stir in chocolate and crushed cookies until evenly distributed.

Drop 1-inch balls of dough onto prepared baking sheet, allowing a little room for cookies to spread.

Bake for 9-11 minutes, until cookies are set at the edges.

Cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
