Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugars for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until combined, then add the royal blue and light blue gel colors until uniform.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, salt, and baking soda, then slowly add this to the wet ingredients on low speed.
Just as the dough begins to form, fold in the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips.
Gently fold in the chopped mini Chips Ahoy cookies and the mini Oreos using a spatula.
Scoop 1/4 cup of dough, roll into a ball, coat in crushed cookie crumbs, and place on the sheet 3 inches apart.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, immediately press candy eyes into the tops, and let them cool on the pan for 15 minutes to set.

Notes

To ensure the most vibrant blue color, always use gel food coloring rather than liquid, as it provides intense pigment without thinning the cookie dough. If the dough feels too soft after mixing, you can let it rest for 5 minutes before scooping to help it hold its shape. Store these cookies in an airtight container to keep the folded-in cookie pieces crisp and the base cookie soft.
