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 desired)

Dry Ingredients

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

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 (for embedding inside)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the white and light brown sugars for 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and light in texture.
  2. Add Egg, Vanilla, and Coloring: Incorporate the egg, vanilla extract, and blue gel food coloring into the butter-sugar mixture. Use an electric mixer to blend for 1 minute until the batter is smooth with an even blue color.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just homogenous, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Mix in the Cookie and Chocolate Chips: Add the chopped Oreos, crushed mini cookies, white and dark chocolate chips to the dough. Mix quickly but thoroughly to distribute the mix-ins evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up, making it easier to shape.
  6. Shape the Cookies: Take small portions of the chilled dough and flatten them into discs in your palm. Place one whole Oreo cookie in the center of each disc, then carefully fold and enclose the dough completely around the Oreo, forming a ball.
  7. Rest Before Baking: Arrange the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill them again in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 15 minutes to help keep their shape during baking.
  8. Preheat and Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for 12–15 minutes until the edges are slightly golden while the centers remain soft and chewy.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a cooling rack or plate. Enjoy your indulgent Cookie Monster Cookies slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Using blue gel food coloring ensures a vibrant color without adding too much liquid to the dough.
  • Chilling the dough before and after shaping helps the cookies maintain their shape and prevents spreading.
  • For extra crunch, you can toast the mini cookies slightly before adding them to the dough.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing formed dough balls allows you to bake fresh cookies on demand.
