The Story & Intro
When I was little, I loved watching “Sesame Street” with a plate of warm cookies by my side. My favorite character? Of course, the Cookie Monster! He made cookie-loving look like the happiest thing in the world. Years later, I decided to bake something inspired by him Cookie Monster chocolate chip cookies. These bright blue, fun-filled cookies are just as wild and joyful as the monster himself, loaded with chocolate chips, mini cookies, and even chunks of Oreos for that irresistible crunch.
These cookies aren’t just for kids they’re for anyone who loves a playful twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie. The bright blue color, gooey centers, and crunchy bits make them perfect for birthdays, bake sales, or just a fun weekend bake. Every bite is a mix of chewy, crunchy, and creamy a true Cookie Monster dream come true!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (312g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Blue food coloring (gel works best for vibrant color)
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (60g) white chocolate chips
- 6 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chip cookies, broken into pieces
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. This creates the soft, chewy base every Cookie Monster cookie needs.
Step 3: Add Eggs, Vanilla, and Coloring
Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until combined. Then add a few drops of blue food coloring, mixing until you reach your desired Cookie Monster shade. (The dough should be vibrant but not overly dark.)
Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Step 5: Fold in Mix-Ins
Gently fold in chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, and mini cookies. The dough will be thick and filled with chunks — just the way Cookie Monster would like it!
Step 6: Scoop and Bake
Scoop out cookie dough balls using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly soft.
Step 7: Cool and Decorate (Optional)
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring to a rack. For a fun look, press extra cookie chunks or chocolate chips on top while still warm.
