Ingredients
Use a clear shot of the ingredients for this recipe, prepped, and labeled if necessary. Insert the ingredients into the list below, omitting quantities.
- butter, only slightly softened, see Top Tip below
- granulated sugar
- brown sugar
- eggs
- vanilla
- food dye
- flour
- baking soda
- salt
- white chocolate chips
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- chopped cookies like Chips Ahoy or Famous Amos
- OREOs
Instructions
1.Preheat oven to 350*F. Chop Chips Ahoy and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
2. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat on high speed for 30 more seconds. Add in the blue food coloring.
3. Mix until well combined. You can play around with the color a bit, it tends to bake pretty green so we added a little bit of purple (you could do a smear or drop of red instead) to get it to a deep blue color.
4. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix juuuuust until combined. Be careful not to over mix! Using a spatula, fold in the white chocolate chips, semi- sweet chocolate chips and chopped Chips A'Hoy cookies.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Grabbing a large chunk of dough (about 2 Tablespoons or so) smash it out into a disc shape. Flatten it as much as you can, it will end up the thickness of the chocolate chips. Place an OREO in the center of the dough disc.
6. Get a few more teaspoons of dough and place them on top of the OREO then fold up the edges to wrap around and completely cover the OREO. Bake at 350*F. for 10-12 minutes. The tops will turn matte and the edges will be set and start to turn golden. Though it can be difficult to see the golden color with the blue dough, you can see it if you look carefully.
Hint: Feel free to play around with the dough color. You'll want it nice and dark and to be more on the purple side than the green side, as they tend to bake more green. We added some purple to ours to get the perfect color.
Substitutions
- Food Coloring - I made a few test batches without any food coloring and they tasted great and looked great too! Also feel free to make them any color for any occasion!
- Famous Amos - you can use Famous Amos or any other store bought cookie that is crunchy for these!
- Milk Chocolate Chips - feel free to use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, if that is your preference.
- OREOs - use any flavor of OREO you want, peanut butter, mint, chocolate marshmallow, chocolate, etc.
Variations
- Peanut Butter Cookie Monster Cookies- Use peanut butter chips instead of white chips and Nutter Butters instead of Chips Ahoy for the world's most amazing and fun Nutter Butter Cookies. Could also use PB OREOS instead of regular as well!
- Mint OREO Cookie Monster Cookies- Use mint chips instead of white chips and Grasshopper cookies instead of Chips Ahoy. Could possibly use Mint OREOs too!
- Birthday Cake Stuffed Cookies - use sprinkles instead of white chips and Birthday Cake OREOS instead of regular OREOs.
- tiktok Cookie Monster Cookies- instead of placing an OREO in the center, use 2 rectangles of Hershey's chocolate and stick in the middle instead. If going this route, we recommend adding a cup of chopped OREOs to the batter.
Equipment
Storage
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 8-10 seconds.
We have not tested freezing these. The OREOs might get mushy upon thawing, but if you would like to freeze, store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
Top tip
Only slightly soften the butter. A colder butter helps these particular cookies keep their form. We recommend getting out the butter about 20 minutes before starting if you're in a cold kitchen, 15 minutes before if you're in a normal kitchen (around 70*F) and about 10 minutes before starting if in a hot kitchen.
Recipe
Cookie Monster Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter I used salted, only slightly softened. Get out about 15 minutes before use.
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ teaspoon liquid blue food coloring + 2 drops purple*
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup white chocolate chips
- ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped Chips A'Hoy cookies about 8 regular sized cookies
- 18 OREOs
- *any type of food coloring will work. For a color close to Cookie Monster we recommend a slightly purple blue, as it tends to bake a little green. Note that the dye tends to lighten a bit as cooked also.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Chop up Chips Ahoy cookies into 8-16 pieces each.
- Cream together the slightly softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. Beat on high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat another 30 seconds. Add the food coloring and mix to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just barely combined. Add the white chips, chocolate chips and Chips Ahoy. Fold in with a spatula.
- Grab a large chunk of dough and flatten into a disc shape. Place and OREO in the center. Add a little more dough and place on the top. Fold up the edges and make sure the OREO is fully encased in dough.
- Bake at 350*F. for 10-12 minutes. The tops will turn matte and the edges will be set. If you look carefully you can see the bottom edges just starting to turn golden. Let rest on the baking sheet 3-4 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 8-10 seconds to make them softer
- We have not tried freezing these cookies. We are not sure how well the OREOs will stand up to freezing and thawing.
- This yields anywhere from 14-18 cookies, depending how much dough you use per cookie.
Nutrition

These cookies were fun to eat, my kids loved them. We didn't dye them blue, but we did use the chips ahoy and stuffed Oreos inside. Definitely for cookie monsters, which my kids are, lol.
