# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • The combination of crushed sandwich cookies and white chocolate creates that familiar nostalgic flavor we all loved as kids
  • These cookies stay soft and chewy for days thanks to the perfect ratio of butter to sugar
  • You probably have everything in your pantry right now, no special grocery runs needed
02 -
  • Press a few extra cookie chunks on top of each dough ball before baking for that professional bakery look
  • The cookies will look underbaked when you take them out but they continue cooking on the hot baking sheet
  • Room temperature butter is crucial, melted butter makes these cookies spread too thin and lose their chewy texture
03 -
  • Chop your sandwich cookies into different sized pieces so you get both small crumbs and big chunks throughout each cookie
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to the dough to intensify the chocolate flavor without making them taste like coffee
