1-First: whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside. Blend 5 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs measure 1/2 cup for the dough and save any extra. Then, pulse 6 cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies into small and medium pieces. This prep keeps things organized and fun!

2-Next: beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture; mix until just combined, then stir in chocolate chips, fine cookie crumbs, and cookie pieces. Chill the dough for 40 minutes to minimize spreading it’s a simple trick for perfect results!

3-Preheat: your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough using a large 3oz scoop, place 6 dough balls on one sheet and freeze them while the oven preheats, then refrigerate the rest. Bake for 13-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are slightly underbaked.

4-Let: the cookies cool on the pan for 4 minutes, then optionally shape them into rounds with a biscuit cutter. While warm, top with extra cookie pieces, chocolate chips, and sprinkle with fine cookie crumbs before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
