Calories: 178kcal
Ingredients
- 17.5 ounces (1 bag) of sugar cookie mix
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ½ cup (1 stick, 113 g) unsalted butter melted
- Blue food coloring
- ¼ cup (43 g) white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (43 g) semi sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup Oreo cookies crushed
- ½ cup chocolate chip cookies crushed
- Extra chips and cookies optional garnish
- Candy eyes optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the cookie mix, egg, melted butter, and blue food coloring in a large bowl until a thick, blue dough forms. Add more coloring, if needed, until the dough reaches your desired color.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips, semi sweet chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, and chocolate chip cookies.
- Stir the dough well so that the add-ins are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Use your clean hands to knead the dough a few times so that everything is well dispersed.
- Using a 1 ½ inch cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Add extra chips, cookie pieces, and candy eyes if desired, and then bake for 7-11 minutes or until the cookies are set but still soft and the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Storage: You can store Cookie Monster Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
- Freezing: If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to 2-3 months in a freezer-safe container or plastic bag. When ready to eat them, thaw the cookies at room temperature or warm them in the microwave or oven. Please be aware that the Oreos and chocolate chip cookies may soften when stored, but the cookies will still taste delicious.
- Sugar cookies from scratch: If you want to make these from scratch you can make these sugar cookies and then color blue and add the chocolate chips and crushed cookies.
- Use blue gel food coloring. Gel adds less liquid to the cookie dough then liquid food coloring. So less liquid will mean your cookies will spread less. And it may be hard to achieve the blue color using liquid food coloring.
- Stuffed Version: It is easy to make these as “stuffed” cookies if desired! Scoop out two scoops of cookie dough and flatten them on top of one place a whole Oreo cookie, chocolate chip cookie, or bite-sized candy bar. Cover the stuffing with the other flattened dough and form a big ball, rolling it smooth before placing it on the prepared cookie sheet. Garnish as desired and then bake for 10-15 minutes or until the middles are set and the edges begin to brown. Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.
