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, to color dough

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 (for stuffing)

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with white granulated sugar and brown sugar for 2 minutes until creamy and well combined.
  2. Add Egg, Vanilla, and Coloring: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and blue gel food coloring, then mix with an electric mixer for 1 minute until the batter is smooth and evenly colored.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until a homogeneous dough forms.
  4. Add Mix-ins: Quickly fold in the chopped Oreo cookie pieces, crushed mini cookies, white chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the dough.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up for easier handling.
  6. Shape Cookies: Take small portions of dough and flatten them into discs in your palm. Place one whole Oreo cookie in the center and fold the dough completely around it, sealing the cookie inside.
  7. Chill Again Before Baking: Arrange the formed cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes to help retain shape during baking.
  8. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until edges are slightly golden but the centers remain soft and chewy.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked cookies to cool briefly on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack or plate to cool completely. Enjoy the gooey, chocolaty surprise inside!

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.
