Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups white sugar

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour

• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon baking powder

• ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted

• 3 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ (14 ounce) package chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo)

4. Whisk butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a separate bowl.

5. Add butter mixture to the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
