Let’s dive into the cookie-making fun and create a treat that’s sure to bring smiles to your face.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Blue food coloring
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup crushed cookie pieces (e.g., chocolate chip cookies)
- 12 Oreo cookies
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the Wet Ingredients: 3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Egg and Vanilla: 4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
Go Blue: 5. Gradually add a few drops of blue food coloring to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition, until you achieve the desired Cookie Monster blue hue.
Combine Wet and Dry: 6. Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Add the Goodies: 7. Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed cookie pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Stuff and Shape: 8. Take a tablespoon-sized portion of the dough and flatten it in your palm. Place an Oreo cookie in the center and fold the dough around it, completely enclosing the Oreo. Repeat for the remaining dough and Oreos.
Bake and Enjoy: 9. Arrange the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. The center may still appear slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack. Be patient—Cookie Monster would want you to enjoy them at the perfect temperature!
These Blue Cookie Monster Cookies are a fantastic treat for kids’ parties, a Sesame Street-themed celebration, or just a delightful snack to enjoy anytime. They’re as fun to look at as they are to eat. So, go ahead and bake a batch to enjoy some cookie-loving nostalgia with a twist!
