Description

A vibrant and indulgent Cookie Monster Cookie recipe featuring a colorful blue dough packed with white chocolate chips, chopped Chips Ahoy, and Oreos for a fun twist on classic cookies.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups (360g) all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, 2 sticks, room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups (267g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Royal blue, electric blue, and violet gel food coloring

Add-ins

  • ⅔ cup (113g) white chocolate chips, divided
  • ⅔ cup chopped Chips Ahoy cookies
  • ⅔ cup chopped Oreos


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a larger mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes until the mixture is fluffy and pale in color.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat for 30 seconds until fully incorporated.
  5. Add dry ingredients and color: Gradually mix in the dry ingredient mixture on low speed. Before finishing, add royal blue, electric blue, and violet gel food coloring. Use enough gel coloring to achieve a deep, true blue color. Continue mixing; the dough will be thick.
  6. Mix in add-ins: Add ⅓ cup of white chocolate chips, ⅓ cup of chopped Chips Ahoy cookies, and ⅓ cup of chopped Oreos. Mix by hand until evenly combined.
  7. Form cookies: Use a cookie scoop to form 2 tablespoon sized dough balls. Roll each ball between your hands to smooth. Press the remaining white chocolate chips, chopped Chips Ahoy, and Oreos onto the outside of each dough ball.
  8. Arrange and bake: Place about 8 cookies on a prepared baking sheet at a time, baking only one sheet at a time for even cooking. Bake for 12 minutes, or until edges are just set but not browned.
  9. Cool cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for vibrant color without altering dough consistency.
  • Pressing extra add-ins on the outside gives a visually appealing, chunky look.
  • Do not overbake; remove cookies before edges brown to keep them soft and chewy.
  • Room temperature butter and eggs help achieve the right dough texture.
  • Chill the dough slightly if it becomes too sticky to handle.
