Cookie Monster Cookies are thick, soft chocolate chip cookies made with blue food coloring, mini Oreo cookies and mini Chips Ahoy. These blue cookies are a must make for cookie monsters big and small.
These monster cookies would be a good choice for a child's birthday party dessert if you wanted to skip the icing smeared walls and sticky body parts that a cake usually entails. These monster truck cupcakes would also be fun for a child's party.
This recipe was inspired by a TikTok post.
These are easy cookies to make.
If you can make a batch of chocolate chip cookies, these will be fine for you.
You're basically making a batch of chocolate chip cookies, adding blue food dye then mixing in the chocolate chips and a cup each of miniature Oreo cookies and miniature Chips Ahoy.
You'll want to reserve a few Oreo and Chips Ahoy for garnishing the top halfway through baking to get them to look like the picture.
Ingredients
See recipe card for quantities.
Blue food coloring: I combined the following Americolor gel pastes to get the Cookie Monster blue:
- Royal Blue
- Violet
- Electric Blue
Add it directly to the cookie dough before you add the chocolate chips and the mini cookies.
This color formula comes from Amy at House of Nash Eats who got the original combination came from a professional cookier doing business as Flour Power Baked Goods.
Instructions
Hint: Pull the cookies out after five minutes of baking to top them with the additional mini cookies and pieces and then return the cookie sheet to the oven to finish baking for another five to 7 minutes.
These cookies are similar to Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies or Toffee Doodle Cookies.
Variations
There aren't a ton of variations for this cookie recipe.
You either want to make blue Cookie Monster cookies or you don't.
However, you could change it up a little by wrapping the dough around a miniature Oreo or a miniature Chips Ahoy cookie so there's a surprise inside.
If you do that, you'll need to make your cookies a bit larger and increase the baking time by two to three minutes.
Equipment
You'll need an electric mixer for this recipe because you're starting with cold butter and will need to cream it with sugars.
This is my favorite hand mixer, (thanks Mom!)
And this stand mixer is excellent.
Get a nice round cookie by using a cookie scoop instead of a teaspoon.
Storage
Store blue monster cookies for up to five days in an airtight container.
You can freeze these cookies for up to three months in a freezer safe container.
Top tip
Don't over bake these cookies!
Take them out of the oven before the cookie edges turn golden.
The cookies will continue baking on the cookie sheet once you remove it from the oven.
