Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup softened butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Add 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it slightly in your hand.

Place 1 Oreo cookie in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing it completely. Roll it into a smooth ball.

Repeat with the remaining dough and Oreos, spacing the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For extra gooey cookies, slightly underbake them by removing them from the oven at the 10-minute mark. They’ll continue to set as they cool!

While the cookies are still warm, press a few chocolate chips on top for a melty, decadent look.

Sprinkle with sea salt flakes for a sweet-and-salty contrast.
