Instructions
- Pulverize room-temperature butter with granulated and brown sugars in a spacious mixing vessel until achieving a whipped, airy consistency using an electric mixer.
- Integrate eggs individually, thoroughly blending after each addition, then incorporate vanilla extract with smooth, consistent strokes.
- Separately sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, creating a uniform dry mixture.

- Nestle a miniature Oreo into the center of each cookie dough mound for enhanced visual and flavor complexity.

Notes
