Description
These vibrant blue cookies are a whimsical delight, featuring a soft, chewy dough loaded with chocolate chips and a hidden whole Oreo cookie inside. Perfect for adding a splash of color to your dessert table, these oversized treats are as fun to eat as they are to bake.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon blue food coloring
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 10 whole Oreo cookies
- 4 Oreo cookies, chopped
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chip cookies, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated and light brown sugars until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale.
- Mix in the egg, blue food coloring, and vanilla extract until the color is consistent and vibrant throughout the dough.
- Sift in the flour, salt, and baking soda, then mix on low speed until the flour streaks just disappear.
- By hand, gently fold in the chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and chopped mini cookies until evenly distributed.
- Scoop 10 large portions of dough; press a whole Oreo cookie into the center of five portions, then cover each with the remaining five portions, sealing the edges completely.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are set, then allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to firm up before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
For the best results, use a gel-based food coloring to achieve a deep, vibrant blue without affecting the consistency of your dough. Ensure your butter is truly softened at room temperature rather than melted to ensure these monster-sized cookies maintain their thick, soft texture during baking.
