Introduction

Cookie Monster Cookies are a fun and colorful treat that combine soft, blue-tinted dough with a surprise Oreo center. These cookies are perfect for parties or whenever you want a playful twist on a classic chocolate chip cookie.

A stack of four thick, bright blue cookies sits on a white marbled surface. The bottom two cookies have visible chunks of dark chocolate and white chocolate chips scattered throughout their soft, textured tops. On the upper two cookies, one is whole while the other is split in half, revealing a dark Oreo cookie with white cream inside, surrounded by bright blue dough and small cookie dough bites. The cookie dough bites are light brown with visible chocolate chips. In the blurred background, there is a bottle of milk and more cookie dough bites and chocolate chips scattered on the surface.

Ingredients

120 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
100 g (1/2 cup) white granulated sugar
50 g (1/4 cup) light brown sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
Blue gel food coloring
230 g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
A pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
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

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with white granulated sugar and light brown sugar for about 2 minutes until creamy.
Step 2: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and blue gel food coloring. Mix again with an electric mixer for 1 minute until the batter is smooth and evenly blue.
Step 3: Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined.
Step 4: Stir in the chopped Oreos, crushed mini cookies, white chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
Step 5: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up.
Step 6: Divide the dough into small portions and flatten each into a disc in your palm. Place a whole Oreo cookie in the center, then fold the dough around it completely, sealing the Oreo inside.
Step 7: Arrange the stuffed cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill again for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator or 15 minutes in the freezer.
Step 8: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes until the edges just start to turn golden but the centers remain soft.
Step 9: Let the cookies cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a rack or plate to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

Use gel food coloring sparingly to avoid affecting the dough texture—add a little at a time until you reach the desired blue shade.
For an extra gooey center, try using double-stuffed Oreos inside the dough.
Substitute mini cookies with crushed graham crackers or your favorite small sandwich cookies for a different flavor.
If you don’t have both white and dark chocolate chips, feel free to use just one type or a mix of your favorite chocolate chips.

Storage

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the cookies for up to 1 month; thaw at room temperature before serving. Reheat briefly in a microwave for a soft, freshly baked feel.

How to Serve

Bright blue cookies dominate the image, each cookie thick and round with a slightly crumbly texture. On top of the blue cookie dough are layers of chocolate chip cookie dough balls in light tan with dark chocolate bits, broken black and white sandwich cookie pieces, and smooth, round white chocolate chips scattered across the surface. Some chocolate chips are also scattered loosely around the cookies on a white marbled surface. The cookies are close together but not stacked, showing a mix of contrasting colors and textures that make the blue cookie base with the toppings stand out vividly. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and keep it refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. This helps deepen the flavors and makes the dough easier to handle.

What if I don’t have blue gel food coloring?

You can use regular liquid food coloring, but be aware that gel coloring provides more vibrant hues without thinning the dough. If unavailable, add liquid coloring in small amounts to avoid altering the texture.

Notes

Use blue gel food coloring sparingly to achieve the desired vibrant blue color without altering dough texture.
Refrigerating the dough helps prevent excessive spreading during baking for thicker cookies.
For extra crunch, use mini cookies that hold their shape well when crushed.
Let cookies cool sufficiently before moving to avoid breakage.
Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 4 days.
