Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- Blue food coloring
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- Mini chocolate chip cookies (for decoration)
- Chocolate sandwich cookies, halved (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add Color: Gradually mix in blue food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
- Combine Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips.
- Form Cookies: Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop. Gently press a halved chocolate sandwich cookie and a mini chocolate chip cookie onto the top of each dough ball to resemble Cookie Monster’s eyes and mouth.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of food coloring based on the intensity of blue you prefer.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for the best consistency.
- If the dough is sticky, chill it for 30 minutes before scooping to make it easier to handle.
- Experiment by adding additional mix-ins like crushed chocolate cookies for extra texture.
