Description
These vibrant blue cookies are a baker’s masterpiece, combining a thick, chewy dough with a mix of chocolate chips and miniature sandwich cookies. Engineered for the perfect structural balance, they offer a playful aesthetic without sacrificing professional texture.
Ingredients
- 226g Unsalted Butter, softened (65-68°F)
- 220g Light Brown Sugar
- 100g Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Royal Blue and Light Blue Gel Food Coloring
- 450g All-Purpose Flour
- 4g Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Mini Sandwich Cookies (Oreos), plus extra for crumbs
- 1 cup Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies (Chips Ahoy), chopped
- Candy Eyeballs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare baking surfaces with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a stand mixer, beat the softened butter with both the light brown and granulated sugars on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and the blue gel colors, mixing until the color is evenly distributed and the mixture is emulsified.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry matrix to the mixer on low speed, stopping just before the flour is fully incorporated.
- Using a spatula, gently fold in the semi-sweet chips, white chocolate chips, chopped mini chocolate chip cookies, and whole mini Oreos by hand.
- Scoop the dough into 3-ounce balls and roll the tops in a fine crumb made from crushed mini cookies.
- Place the dough balls 3 inches apart and bake for 12-14 minutes. Let the cookies sit for 60 seconds before applying candy eyes, then allow them to finish cooling on the sheet for 15 minutes.
Notes
To ensure the cookies maintain their thick, mounded shape, avoid over-creaming the butter and sugar, which can introduce too much air and lead to collapsing. If your kitchen is warm, chilling the portioned dough balls for 10 minutes before baking will help preserve the vibrant blue hue and prevent excessive spreading.
