Ingredients

Cookies

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (113g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (90g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda (5g)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1 tsp blue gel food coloring (Wilton or similar)

  • 6 Oreo chunks (68g)
  • Extra cookies + chocolate chips for stuffing/topping

Glaze

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter & Sugars – Beat cold butter for 30 seconds, add sugars, and beat again until combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients – Mix in eggs, vanilla, and blue gel food coloring. Beat about 1 minute.

đź’ˇ Pro Tips

  • Use cold butter – This keeps the cookies thick and bakery-style.
  • Weigh your dough – Each should be ~150–175g for even baking.
  • Don’t skip freezing – This helps keep them from spreading too much.
  • Add toppings before baking – Poking extra chips + cookie bits on top makes them bakery-pretty.

đźš« What to Avoid

  • ❌ Overmixing the dough – This can make cookies tough instead of soft and chewy.
  • ❌ Skipping the chill step – Without chilling, the cookies may flatten too much.
  • ❌ Overbaking – Pull them out when edges are set but centers are slightly soft; they’ll firm up as they cool.

These Blue Cookie Monster Cookies are the ultimate fun treat! With gooey centers, stuffed surprises, and that playful bright blue color, they’re perfect for parties, bake sales, or just a cozy weekend bake. Follow the pro tips and avoid common mistakes, and you’ll have bakery-worthy cookies every time.

So go ahead—whip up a batch and share the cookie monster magic! 💙🍪
