How to Make Cookie Monster Cookies

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Set this dry mixture aside. In a food processor, blend 6 Oreos into small and medium bits, followed by 6 Chips Ahoy cookies the same way.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 room temperature large eggs, and 1 tsp royal blue gel food dye until well combined and smooth.
3. Combine and Add Extras: Carefully fold in the dry mixture using a rubber spatula just until incorporated. Add in the crushed Oreo pieces, Chips Ahoy bits, and 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix gently until evenly distributed.
4. Prep for Baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Allow the cookie dough to rest for about 10 minutes; this step helps manage how much the cookies spread.
5. Scoop the Dough: Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and place 6 balls per cookie sheet to allow space for spreading.
6. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes. Since the cookies are blue, they won’t develop a golden color, so keep an eye on the edges which should look set.
7. Cool and Garnish: As soon as they come out of the oven, top each cookie with an extra Oreo piece, a piece of Chips Ahoy, and a few additional chocolate chips. Let them sit on the hot pan for around 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Storing & Reheating

To keep your Cookie Monster Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If you wish to extend their lifespan, refrigerate them for about a week in a sealed container. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months; just place the cooled cookies in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag. To enjoy again, simply reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste, though the texture may become slightly firmer.

These Cookie Monster Cookies are not just sweet treats; they’re vividly creative experiences that can awaken the child in everyone. By making them, you not only create something delicious but also share a bit of joy and whimsy, whether it’s for special gatherings or everyday indulgences.
