Cookie Monster Cookie Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
360 grams
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
room temperature, 1 cup
- 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Royal blue
electric blue, and violet gel food coloring
- 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
divided
- 2/3 cup chopped chips ahoy cookies
I used mini cookies
- 2/3 cup chopped oreos
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- 2
In a mixing bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- 3
In a larger mixing bowl combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. You want this mixture to be fluffy and pale in color.
- 4
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, beat for 30 seconds.
- 5
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed. Before you finish mixing the dough, add in the royal blue, electric blue, and violet gel food coloring. You will need a good bit of food coloring to achieve a deep, true blue color. Continue mixing, the dough will be thick.
- 6
Add in ⅓ cup white chocolate chips, ⅓ cup chopped chips ahoy cookies, and ⅓ cup chopped oreos, mix by hand until combined.
- 7
Use a cookie scoop to form 2 tablespoon sized cookie dough balls, roll into a smooth ball between your hands. Press the remaining white chocolate chips, chips ahoy cookies, and oreo cookies on the outside of the dough balls. Place about 8 cookies on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat at a time. I recommend only baking 1 cookie sheet at a time for even baking. Bake 2 tablespoon sized cookie dough balls for 10-12 minutes. Ideally, you want to pull the cookies out of the oven before the edges start browning.
- 8
Allow the cookies to cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet before removing.

About this Recipe
Craving cookies that are as fun to look at as they are to eat? These Cookie Monster Cookies deliver a playful burst of color and a delightful medley of textures, perfect for brightening any day.
Why These Cookies Work
What makes these monster cookies truly special is their irresistible combination of soft, chewy dough infused with a vibrant blue hue, loaded with an abundance of mix-ins. You get the rich sweetness of white chocolate chips balanced by the satisfying crunch of both classic chopped Chips Ahoy and delightful chopped Oreos. Each bite offers a different textural experience, keeping things exciting.
What to Expect
Prepare for a treat that's a feast for both the eyes and the palate. These soft and chewy cookies boast a remarkably tender crumb, contrasting beautifully with the crisp bits of chocolate chip cookies and chocolate sandwich cookies. The prominent sweetness from the sugars and white chocolate chips is perfectly complemented by the familiar notes of the chopped cookies. You'll find yourself reaching for another one of these wonderfully textured, vibrantly blue delights.
Customization & Variations
While these cookies shine as designed, feel free to experiment. You could swap out the white chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate chips if you prefer. For different cookie textures, consider other crunchy chocolate cookies instead of just Chips Ahoy or Oreos. You can also adjust the proportions of royal blue, electric blue, and violet gel food coloring to achieve your desired shade of blue.
Serving & Context
These whimsical Cookie Monster Cookies are fantastic for birthday parties, school events, or simply as a fun after-school snack. Serve them as the star of your dessert spread, or enjoy them with a tall glass of milk for a delightful treat.
