Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by creaming butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and blue gel food coloring, mixing until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, mini cookie pieces, and chopped Oreos.
  6. Flatten dough in your palm, place a whole Oreo in the center, and wrap the dough around it.
  7. Chill the dough balls on a tray lined with parchment for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C), then bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes.
  9. Let the cookies cool on a baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
