Vibrant blue Cookie Monster Cookies filled with chocolate chips, cookies, and mini treats. A fun dessert for kids, parties, or any occasion!
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- Blue gel food coloring
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Mix-Ins:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed Oreos
- 1 cup mini chocolate chip cookies (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and blue food coloring until evenly mixed.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Add the Mix-Ins:
- Gently fold in chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, and mini chocolate chip cookies
Shape and Bake:
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Cool:
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use gel food coloring instead of liquid for a vibrant blue color without altering the dough consistency.
