Cookies 'n' Cream Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in upper position. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Stir together flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well combined, about 1 minute. Reduce mixer speed to low; gradually add flour mixture, beating until just combined, about 1 minute. Fold in white chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cups of the chopped cookies using a rubber spatula. Cover dough; chill until firm, about 45 minutes.

Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Gently press remaining 1 1/2 cups chopped cookies evenly onto dough tops, slightly flattening dough as you press.

Bake in 3 batches in preheated oven until cookie edges are set and light golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely, about 15 minutes.
