Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¾ cups (345 g / 12.2 oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (225 g / 8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g / 7 oz) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini candy-coated chocolates (like M&Ms)
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- Blue food coloring gel (optional, for a Cookie Monster-themed look)
Instructions
- Preparation Setup: Warm oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for effortless cookie release.
- Creaming Foundation: Whip softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture transforms into a cloud-like, pale emulsion with exceptional volume.
- Liquid Integration: Blend eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before introducing vanilla extract and blue gel food coloring, ensuring uniform pigmentation throughout the dough.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Gently sift flour, baking soda, and salt together, then delicately fold into the wet mixture, creating a harmonious dough without aggressive stirring.
- Textural Embellishment: Fold chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, and mini cookie pieces into the dough, distributing mix-ins to guarantee a robust flavor profile and varied texture.
- Portioning and Positioning: Scoop uniform dough balls onto prepared sheets, spacing generously to allow proper spreading during baking.
- Baking and Cooling: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden yet centers remain tender, then rest cookies for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
Color Consistency: Use gel food coloring for vibrant, even blue hue without altering dough texture or moisture.
Prevent Overmixing: Gently fold dry ingredients to maintain tender cookie structure and avoid tough, dense results.
Uniform Sizing: Use portioning scoop for consistent cookie shape, ensuring even baking and professional presentation.
Temperature Control: Let cookies rest on baking sheet post-baking to complete cooking process without over-browning edges.
