Introduction

These Cookie Monster Cookies are a fun twist on classic chocolate chip cookies, bursting with color and hidden Oreo surprises inside. Soft, chewy, and packed with mini cookies and chocolate chips, they’re perfect for parties or a playful treat.

A stack of three thick blue cookies sits on a white marbled surface. The bottom cookie is whole, showing blue dough with embedded dark chocolate chips and white chocolate pieces. The middle cookie is also whole with the same blue dough and chocolate chips. The top cookie is broken in half, revealing a cross-section of blue dough filled with chunks of dark chocolate sandwich cookies with white cream and small bits of light brown mini chocolate chip cookies. Around the stack, there are scattered mini chocolate chip cookies, dark and white chocolate chips, and a blurred glass of milk in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

120 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
100 g (1/2 cup) 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 the granulated sugar and light brown sugar for 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 until combined.
Step 4: Add the chopped Oreo pieces, crushed mini cookies, white chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips. Quickly mix them into the dough.
Step 5: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then, take small portions and flatten them into discs in your palm.
Step 6: Place one whole Oreo cookie in the center of each dough disc, folding the dough around to completely enclose the Oreo.
Step 7: Arrange the 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 edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
Step 9: Let the cookies cool briefly before transferring to a plate or cooling rack.

Tips & Variations

For a more vibrant blue color, add a little more gel food coloring or use multiple shades of blue.
Substitute Oreos with other sandwich cookies like Biscoff or Mint Oreos for different flavors.
Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and keeps the cookies thick and chewy.
Use white chocolate chunks instead of chips for melty pockets of sweetness.

Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies for up to 1 month and thaw at room temperature before serving. Reheat briefly in a microwave or oven to regain softness.

How to Serve

Bright blue cookies form the base layer, each with a slightly cracked texture showing softness inside. Scattered on top are chunks of black Oreo cookies with visible white cream, providing sharp contrast. Alongside these are small, round, light beige cookie dough balls with dark chocolate chips. White and dark chocolate chips are also set in the blue dough, adding smooth and round shapes with a shiny surface. The cookies sit on a white marbled surface with more chocolate chips and broken Oreos placed around them, creating a casual, inviting look. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular food coloring instead of gel?

You can, but gel food coloring is preferred because it’s more concentrated and won’t alter the dough’s consistency significantly.

Do I have to chill the dough before baking?

Chilling is recommended as it helps the cookies hold their shape, prevents spreading, and enhances the flavor, but you can bake immediately if short on time.

Blue gel food coloring (as needed)

Dry Ingredients

100 g (1/2 cup) granulated white sugar

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

Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with white granulated sugar and brown sugar for 2 minutes until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Add the egg, vanilla, and color: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and blue gel food coloring, then mix again with an electric mixer for 1 minute to incorporate all ingredients, producing a smooth, vibrantly blue batter.
Incorporate the dry ingredients: Gently fold in the sifted flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda using a spatula just until combined, forming a homogeneous cookie dough.
Add cookie chunks and chips: Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies, crushed mini cookies, white chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips quickly but thoroughly, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Chill the dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up for easier handling.
Shape cookies with Oreos inside: Take small portions of dough and flatten them into discs. Place one whole Oreo cookie in the center and fold the dough around it, fully enclosing the Oreo within the dough.
Second chill: Arrange the stuffed cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill either in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or in the freezer for 15 minutes to help them keep their shape when baking.
Bake the cookies: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes until the edges are slightly golden but centers remain soft.
Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack or plate. Enjoy your delicious Cookie Monster Cookies!

Notes

Use blue gel food coloring sparingly to achieve the perfect blue shade without affecting taste.
Refrigerating the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents excessive spreading during baking.
For extra gooey centers, slightly underbake the cookies and allow them to finish cooking on the hot baking sheet.
Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
Feel free to substitute Oreos with your favorite sandwich cookies for variation.
