Ingredients

Scale

Dough Base

  • 1 cup butter (room temperature, not too soft)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Blue food coloring (to desired shade)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup chopped Oreos (about 10 Oreos)
  • 3/4 cup chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies (like Famous Amos or mini Chips Ahoy)
  • 3/4 cup milk chocolate discs or chunks of milk chocolate bar
  • Extra semisweet chocolate chips (for topping)
  • Extra white chocolate chips (for topping)
  • Extra chopped Oreos (for topping)
  • Extra chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and cream butter and sugars: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 1 minute until combined.
  2. Add eggs, vanilla, and color: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to cream for 3 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale. Add blue food coloring gradually until you reach your desired blue shade.
  3. Incorporate dry ingredients: Add salt, baking powder, and flour to the wet ingredients. Mix just until no flour streaks remain; be careful not to over mix to maintain cookie tenderness.
  4. Fold in mix-ins: Gently fold in semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies. If the dough feels too soft or the cookies spread excessively during baking, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before proceeding.
  5. Shape cookies with hidden milk chocolate center: Take two tablespoons of dough and flatten it out. Place 2-3 milk chocolate discs in the center, then wrap the edges of the dough around the chocolate, sealing it inside. Add an additional two tablespoons of dough on top, forming a dough ball centered around the chocolates.
  6. Top with extra mix-ins: Sprinkle each dough ball with a combination of extra semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and chopped chocolate chip cookies to create the iconic look and added texture.
  7. Bake and cool: Arrange cookies on a lined or greased baking sheet, leaving ample space for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but the centers remain soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If cookie dough is too soft leading to excessive spreading, refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Milk chocolate discs or chunks create a delicious gooey center in these cookies.
  • Use a mix of crispy chocolate chip cookies like Famous Amos or Chips Ahoy to maintain crunch in the dough.
  • Ensure not to over mix once flour is added to keep cookies tender.
  • Blue food coloring quantity can be adjusted to get your preferred Cookie Monster blue.
