Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until well combined. The mixture should look smooth and creamy.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Toss in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in white chocolate chips and crushed cookies and cream bars until they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough. The sight of those chunky bits will make your heart race! For more inspiration, check out this Double Chocolate Cookies recipe.
