How to Make Cookie Monster Cookies ?

Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.

Step 2: Cream the Butter & Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Add Eggs, Vanilla & Food Coloring

• Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Add blue gel food coloring and mix until fully incorporated. Add more if needed to get a vibrant blue color.

Step 4: Combine Dry & Wet Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.

Step 5: Fold in the Mix-ins

Gently fold in the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips (if using), chopped Oreos, and chopped Chips Ahoy cookies.

Step 6: Chill the Dough

Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours). This helps the flavors meld and prevents spreading during baking.

Step 7: Preheat & Prepare Baking Sheets

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8: Scoop & Shape the Cookies

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Step 9: Bake

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

Step 10: Add Candy Eyes & Cool

As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, gently press candy eyes onto some cookies to create a Cookie Monster effect. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Variations

• Nutty Monster Cookies: Add ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
• Peanut Butter Twist: Swirl in ¼ cup peanut butter into the dough for a nutty flavor.
• Triple Chocolate Delight: Use dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips.
• Stuffed Cookies: Place a mini Oreo or marshmallow in the center before baking for a surprise filling.

COOKING Note:

• Use gel food coloring for a bright blue color. Liquid food coloring may alter the dough’s consistency.
• For extra softness, slightly underbake the cookies and let them finish cooking on the tray.
• If the dough is too sticky, chill it longer or add a tablespoon of flour.

Serving Suggestions

• With Milk: Enjoy these cookies the classic Cookie Monster way—with a big glass of cold milk! 🥛
• Ice Cream Sandwiches: Use two cookies to sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Party Platter: Arrange them with other colorful desserts for a fun, themed party spread.

Helpful Tips

✔️ Room Temperature Ingredients: Always use softened butter and room temp eggs for even mixing.
✔️ Chill the Dough: This prevents the cookies from spreading too much and enhances flavor.
✔️ Use Parchment Paper: This helps the cookies bake evenly and prevents sticking.
✔️ Make Ahead: Freeze dough balls and bake whenever you need fresh cookies.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular food coloring instead of gel?

Gel food coloring is recommended because it provides vibrant color without altering the dough consistency. If using liquid food coloring, add extra flour if the dough becomes too soft.

2. Can I make these cookies ahead of time?

Yes! You can refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours before baking or freeze pre-scooped dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.

3. What if I don’t have Oreos?

You can substitute Oreos with chocolate sandwich cookies, graham crackers, or even extra chocolate chips.

4. How do I keep my cookies soft?

Store them in an airtight container with a slice of bread. The bread helps keep the cookies moist and chewy.

Conclusion

These Cookie Monster Cookies are the perfect fun, colorful, and delicious treat for kids and cookie lovers of all ages! Whether you make them for a birthday party, bake sale, or just for fun, these bright blue cookies will bring a smile to everyone’s face.

So, grab your mixing bowl, whip up a batch, and enjoy the ultimate cookie indulgence! 🍪💙
