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
Coloring and Mix-ins
- Royal blue, electric blue, and violet gel food coloring (enough to achieve deep blue color)
- 2/3 cup (113g) white chocolate chips, divided
- 2/3 cup chopped Chips Ahoy cookies (mini cookies recommended)
- 2/3 cup chopped Oreos
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C). Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside for later incorporation.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a larger 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.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the buttery mixture and beat for an additional 30 seconds until combined.
- Add Food Coloring and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture while mixing on low speed. Before the dough is fully combined, add royal blue, electric blue, and violet gel food coloring generously to achieve a deep blue color. Continue mixing until the dough is thick and evenly colored.
- Fold in Mix-ins: By hand, fold in ⅓ cup white chocolate chips, ⅓ cup chopped Chips Ahoy cookies, and ⅓ cup chopped Oreos until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies and Add Toppings: Use a cookie scoop to portion out 2 tablespoon-sized dough balls. Roll each into a smooth ball. Press the remaining white chocolate chips, chopped Chips Ahoy cookies, and chopped Oreos onto the outside of each dough ball for decoration and extra texture.
- Bake: Place about 8 cookies on the prepared cookie sheet and bake one sheet at a time for 10-12 minutes. Remove cookies when edges are set but before they start to brown to keep them soft and chewy.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving to let them set properly.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for the deepest and most vibrant blue without altering dough consistency.
- Chilled dough can be slightly sticky, so lightly oil your hands to roll balls smoothly.
- Baking one sheet at a time ensures even cooking and prevents under or overbaking.
- Allowing the cookies to cool on the baking sheet helps them set while keeping the centers soft.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
