Delicious and fun Blue Monster Cookie Treats, perfect for parties or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon royal blue gel food coloring
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- 1 cup crushed Chips Ahoy cookies
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 whole Oreo cookies (for stuffing)
- 12 squares milk chocolate bars (optional stuffing)
- 24 candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Beat softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully, then mix in royal blue gel food coloring until dough has uniform blue color.
- Sift bread flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt directly into the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold crushed Oreo cookies, crushed Chips Ahoy cookies, white chocolate chips, and semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
- Using a #30 cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons), form 12 dough balls. Flatten each slightly, place a whole Oreo cookie or a square of milk chocolate in the center, then cover with more dough and pinch edges to seal tightly.
- Press two candy eyeballs and extra cookie pieces on top of each cookie dough ball. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to firm the dough.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange chilled cookie dough balls spaced apart. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until edges are set and tops appear slightly cracked.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for better mixing.
- Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Feel free to customize the mix-ins as desired.
