Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 120 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Blue gel food coloring (as needed for desired color)

Dry Ingredients

  • 230 g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Sugars

  • 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated white sugar
  • 50 g (1/4 cup) light brown sugar

Add-ins

  • 40 g (1/4 cup) dark chocolate chips
  • 40 g (1/4 cup) white chocolate chips
  • 30 g (1/4 cup) crushed mini cookies
  • 3 Oreo cookies, chopped
  • 12 Oreo cookies, whole

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the granulated white sugar and light brown sugar for 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
  2. Add Egg and Flavoring: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and a few drops of blue gel food coloring to the bowl. Continue mixing with an electric mixer for 1 minute until the batter is smooth and evenly colored a vibrant blue.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Combine the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl and sift them together. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.
  4. Add Cookie and Chocolate Mix-ins: Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies, crushed mini cookie bits, white chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips quickly to evenly distribute them throughout the cookie dough.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm it up and enhance flavors.
  6. Form Cookie Balls: Take small portions of refrigerated dough and flatten them into discs in your palm. Place one whole Oreo cookie in the center of each disc and carefully wrap the dough around it, fully enclosing the Oreo.
  7. Second Chill: Arrange the wrapped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate again for approximately 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes to help them hold shape during baking.
  8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies on the prepared tray for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges turn slightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack or plate to cool further. Enjoy your creative and delicious Cookie Monster Cookies!

Notes

  • Using blue gel food coloring provides vibrant color without thinning the dough as liquid colors would.
  • Chilling the dough twice helps the cookies maintain shape and improves texture.
  • Be careful not to overbake; the centers should stay soft for the best texture.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
