Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until smooth.
Add eggs, vanilla extract, and green food coloring and mix until fully combined.

Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until no lumps remain.

Step 3: Mix in the Chocolate & Oreos

Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and crushed Oreos for extra flavor and crunch.

Step 4: Shape & Bake

Scoop 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown but the center remains soft.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant and long-lasting green color.
Chill the dough for 20 minutes if cookies spread too much while baking.
Underbake slightly for extra soft and chewy cookies.
For extra flavor, use dark chocolate chips or add a pinch of sea salt to enhance sweetness.
Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
