1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cream of tartar
45 Oreo cookies (1 full package of Oreos), chopped into big chunks

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix butter and sugars until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs and mix until combined. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder and cream of tartar. Chop Oreo's into big chunks and stir into above mixture by hand.

Using your hands, take approximately a scant quarter cup of dough and form it into a ball. Place cookies at least 2-inches apart on a cookie sheet and flatten "slightly".

Bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until light brown. Cool slightly and remove from baking sheet onto a wire rack to continue cooling.

Makes about 40.
