- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ⅔ cups flour (215 grams by weight)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- By hand, stir in chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and chopped chocolate sandwich cookies.
- For best flavor, rest dough overnight in the fridge.
- Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 375°F for 8-10 minutes. Wait 2 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- These cookies are able to baked immediately after forming the dough, but the flavor is much better after an overnight rest.
- For rounder, taller cookies, freeze dough before baking.
- To freeze: form dough into balls and place in a single layer on a plate or baking sheet. Freeze 4 or more hours. Store frozen dough tightly covered up to 6 months.
- To bake from frozen: Place frozen dough directly on baking sheet and add 1 minute to baking time.
