Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- blue food coloring
- 2 cups flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt

Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar
- Add the egg, pure vanilla extract, and three drops of blue food coloring and mix to see what the color looks like. Add additional food coloring if desired to get the blue hue you’re looking for!1 large egg, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, blue food coloring
- Next beat in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined to finish the base of the cookie dough!2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt
- With a wooden spoon, add 1/3 cup of white chocolate chips, 1/3 cup mini Oreos, and 1/3 cup of the mini chocolate cookies to the large mixing bowl and stir in – breaking up the cookies just a bit with your spoon.2/3 cup Mini Oreos, 2/3 cup white chocolate chips, 2/3 cup mini chocolate chip cookies
- If you want giant cookies (like Cookie Monster would probably love), divide the cookie dough into six equal balls and place them onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Or if you want smaller cookies, you can do 12 smaller cookies (about one tablespoon) as well!
- Break up the remaining mini Oreos and mix them in with the rest of the mini chocolate chip cookies and white chocolate chips.2/3 cup Mini Oreos, 2/3 cup white chocolate chips, 2/3 cup mini chocolate chip cookies
- Gently top the cookie dough balls with a sprinkling of the cookie mixture and press in gently so it stays while the cookies are chilling.
- Put the baking sheet of covered cookie dough balls into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- After the cookies have set in the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- For large cookie, bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the edges are golden and the middle is still soft. For smaller cookies, start checking them around 12 minutes.
- After the cookies are finished baking, let them cool for five minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Serve once cooled.
Notes
No need to keep cookies refrigerated. Keep cookies in an airtight container on at room temperature for up to 5 days.
You can freeze them! If you’re lucky enough to have any left, store them in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. Do this before or after baking, it’s up to you.
Swap the white chocolate chips for regular milk chocolate chips if you like. Or use half and half.
Make a smaller cookie monster cookie. This recipe for cookie monster cookies makes 6 big cookies, but if you want 12, just make them regular-sized cookies. Use a small or medium cookie scoop for even sizes.
Food coloring. While blue gel food coloring is recommended, liquid food coloring can be used, just go slow when adding the coloring because liquid food coloring can have a strong taste.
