Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened (regular or dairy-free)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon blue food coloring adjust to your preference
  • 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ to ½ cup chocolate chips mix of semi-sweet and white chocolate
  • cup mini chocolate chip cookies dairy-free options available
  • 14 Oreo cookies classic or dairy-free

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Chop the Cookies: Chop 3-4 Oreos and the mini chocolate chip cookies into small pieces. Set aside the remaining 10 whole Oreos for stuffing into the cookies.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of light brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes). Add the 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and ¼ to ½ teaspoon of blue food coloring. Mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups + 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon of salt, and ¾ teaspoon of baking soda. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
  5. Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and chopped mini chocolate chip cookies.
  6. Form Dough Balls: Scoop about 10 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll them into large dough balls. Press a whole Oreo cookie into the center of each dough ball, then top with more dough to fully cover the Oreo.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are soft. Don’t over-bake; cookies should remain soft and chewy.
  8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

Notes

  • Food Coloring: You can use gel or liquid food coloring. Gel is more concentrated, so start with a smaller amount if you’re using gel.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free butter and dairy-free chocolate chips if you need a dairy-free version.
  • Gluten-Free Version: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and check your mini chocolate chip cookies to ensure they’re gluten-free.
  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the baked cookies for up to 2 months or freeze the dough for later use.
  • Customization: Add mix-ins like peanut butter chips, marshmallows, or your favorite candy to create your own twist on Cookie Monster cookies.
