Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
In a large mixing bowl, cream softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy

Gradually add flour and baking soda, mixing until just combined
Fold in Nilla wafer crumbs and white chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft
