Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy and light, about 6-8 minutes. Add vanilla extract.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Gradually add the royal blue gel food coloring until the desired shade is reached.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together bread flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add this mix to the wet ingredients on low speed.
  5. Fold in the crushed Oreos and chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
  6. Scoop out approximately 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, place a whole cookie in the center, and cover with more dough.
  7. Refrigerate the cookie dough balls for at least 3 hours on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes for standard cookies.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
