Cookie Monster Cookies
Description
Get the Recipe: Cookie Monster Cookies are made with cold butter, brown and granulated sugars, and a blend of flour with baking soda and baking powder to create a thick blue-tinted dough. White and regular chocolate chips are folded in before shaping the dough around whole Oreo cookies. Baking at 375°F results in cookies that appear just set when removed, firming up slightly on cooling to maintain a tender yet structured texture. The contrast between the colorful cookie dough and the classic Oreo center creates a playful and indulgent treat suitable for those wanting a twist on a classic cookie.
The dough's firmness is maintained by using cold butter and incorporating baking soda and baking powder for leavening, ensuring a nice rise and tender crumb. Blue food coloring provides the distinctive Cookie Monster look. Chilling the butter and beating the butter with sugars until smooth allows even mixing and the best texture. Fully enclosing the Oreo ensures it stays soft inside the cookie shell while baking.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to four days or frozen for longer storage and reheated gently. The combination of chip varieties and Oreo center adds distinct textural and flavor contrasts that make these cookies a fun option for dessert or snacking.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter cold
- ½ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups flour gluten free 1 to 1 or all purpose
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ⅓ cup white chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
- 10 Oreo cookies gluten free or regular
- Blue Food coloring
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in egg and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Add in flour, baking soda and baking powder. Stir until a thick dough is formed. Add in 4 to 5 drops of food coloring. Mix until dough is uniformly blue.
- Fold in white chocolate chips and chocolate chips.
- Scoop out balls of dough. Place on lined sheet and flatten with hands.
- Then, place an Oreo in the middle of each flattened dough ball.
- Place another small flattened ball of dough on top of the Oreo. Use hands to fully enclose Oreo with cookie dough.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until the cookies look barely set.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 minutes. Then carefully remove to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use cold butter straight from the fridge to help maintain dough firmness.
- Beat butter and sugars until smooth with no butter clumps for best texture.
- The dough will be thick; use 4 to 5 drops of blue food coloring for a vibrant color.
- Encapsulate the Oreo cookies completely with dough for proper baking.
- Bake until cookies look barely set; they will firm up as they cool.
- Store cookies in an airtight container up to 4 days or freeze for longer preservation.
