Thick & Chewy Cookies and Cream Cookie Bars

0 Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, making sure it covers the bottom and sides.
1 In a large bowl, mix the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until smooth and creamy, with no visible lumps.
2 Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and mix until fully combined.
3 Add the flour and baking powder, and mix just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
4 Fold in most of the chopped Oreos and chocolate chips, saving a handful of each for the top.
5 Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Press the remaining Oreo pieces and chocolate chips on top so they are clearly visible.
6 Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center still looks slightly soft.
7 Let the bars cool in the pan before slicing. For cleaner cuts, let them cool completely, but for a gooey center, slice while still slightly warm.Dust lightly with powdered sugar right before serving.
