Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 8-10 cookies)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
12-15 Oreo cookies, whole
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Gradually add the flour to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in the palm of your hand. Place a whole Oreo cookie on top of the flattened dough.
6. Take another tablespoon of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm. Place it on top of the Oreo cookie, sealing the edges with the bottom piece of dough.
7. Repeat steps 5-6 until all the dough and Oreo cookies are used.
8. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
