  3. Gradually sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, folding gently until no streaks of flour remain.
  4. Carefully stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Chips Ahoy cookies, and chopped Oreos.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, take a portion of dough, flatten it, place an Oreo in the center, and wrap the dough around it.
  6. Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to maintain its shape.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place cookies on a baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
