Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat butter and sugars until smooth. Add vanilla and egg and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, soda, salt, baking powder and cream of tartar. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir until incorporated. Stir in Oreos by hand.
Divide the dough into about 12 equal sections and shape into balls - try not to crush up the Oreos too much. Place dough balls 3 inches apart (6 per cookie sheet) on parchment lined or non-stick cookie sheet and flatten tops slightly. You don't want to flatten it too much, you just don't want it to look like a ball. Press pieces of dark chocolate into dough. Bake for about 15 minutes or until brown around the edges.
Let cool slightly on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to set: remove from baking sheet. Cool on wire rack. Makes about 12 to 16 big cookies
Notes
The recipe uses 240 grams of flour, so this would be 2 very lightly spooned and swept 2 cups. For best results, you really need to weigh it.
