Prepare the Cookie Dough:

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
5. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos and chocolate chips. The dough will be thick and sticky.

Chill the Dough:

1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.

Bake the Cookies:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
3. Press a mini Oreo into the center of each cookie (optional but adds a cute touch!).
4. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as the cookies cool on the baking sheet.

Decorate:

1. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
2. Once cooled, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cookies for a decorative touch.
