Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or silicone liners.
In a large bowl with an electric handheld mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, cream cheese and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the vanilla and eggs and mix until the color lightens and the batter is fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, malted milk powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined.
Stir in the Oreos and chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into 2-3 tablespoon size cookie dough balls (I use my large, #20 cookie scoop). Place them several inches apart on baking sheets and bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.

Notes

Malted Milk Powder: I love the very slight hint of malt taste from the malted milk powder. I've also made them with whole milk powder and the cookies are extra creamy and delicious. Leaving out the malted milk powder/whole milk powder will affect the taste, texture and consistency of the cookie dough - so I don't recommend it. I tried the cookies using nonfat instant dry milk (I have a ton of it in my food storage); a friend that taste tested them said they were "fine" but I'll be honest, I thought they were super icky terrible. So. It's malted milk powder or whole milk powder all the way, in my ever so humble opinion. I buy both malted and whole milk powders from Amazon (details up above in the post).
Oreos: Don't get too eager crushing the Oreo cookies in preparation for the recipe. They should be coarsely chopped - not pulverized - so you can get a nice taste of real, live pieces of Oreo cookie inside the chocolate chip cookie. My favorite method? Taking the whole Oreo/Jo-Jo cookies in my hands and crumbling them over the top of the dough (so each Oreo cookie is probably in about 4-5 pieces).
