Description
Cookie Monster Cookies are vibrant, chewy blue cookies packed with chocolate chips, Oreo chunks, and Chips Ahoy pieces for a fun, cookie-loaded treat. Soft in the center and slightly crisp on the edges, they’re perfect for birthdays, bake sales, or just a playful homemade dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Blue gel food coloring (add to desired color)
- ½ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup mini Oreos, chopped into chunks
- ½ cup Chips Ahoy cookies, chopped or use mini Chips Ahoy
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add blue gel food coloring and mix until the dough is a vibrant Cookie Monster blue.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and Chips Ahoy pieces.
- Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Press extra cookie chunks or chocolate chips on top while warm, and add edible candy eyes for the full Cookie Monster effect.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
- Substitute white chocolate chips with peanut butter or butterscotch chips for variety.
- To make gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and gluten-free cookie mix-ins.
- Store cookies at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat cookies in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them warm and gooey again.
