Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature, including cream cheese.

Break apart 14 chocolate sandwich cookies by hand into large chunks, avoiding chopping them to prevent excessive crumbs.

In a medium bowl, combine 240 grams (2 cups) of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of corn starch, 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 140 grams (10 tablespoons) of room temperature unsalted butter and 4 ounces of room temperature cream cheese. Mix until creamy and homogenous.

Add 3/4 cup (150 grams) of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the mixture. Mix until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed.

Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1 room temperature egg to the mixture. Mix until combined, scraping down the bowl again.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low until almost combined, leaving some pockets of flour.

Switch to hand mixing and add 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips, mixing gently. Then fold in the broken chocolate sandwich cookies, ensuring they are distributed without crushing them too much.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Scoop out two tablespoon-sized balls of dough (approximately 50 grams each) and roll them into balls.

Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.

Press 3 additional white chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie dough ball.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 11 minutes, or until the edges are just set.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet.
