I recently tried my hand at making these Soft & Chewy Cookie Monster Cookies and boy, have they become a fave. I mixed together 1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup packed light brown sugar for a dough that’s super rich and sweet.

Then I beat in 2 large eggs, added 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 2 teaspoons blue food coloring to get that epic cookie monster look. Once I folded in 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt, I was all set to go.

The best part is that every bite is filled with surprises like white and dark chocolate chips, crushed Oreos and crushed chocolate chip cookies. This unique twist on traditional chocolate chip cookies give you a taste of fun, perfect for birthday parties or a wild dessert night at home.

Give it a try, you won’t regret it.

Soft & Chewy Cookie Monster Cookies Recipe Substitutions and Variations

For unsalted butter, you could use salted butter but lower the added salt a bit
If you dont have granulated sugar try using coconut sugar keeping in mind it might change the flavor slightly
If blue food coloring isn’t available, natural options like blueberry juice or butterfly pea powder work fine
Instead of white chocolate chips, you can swap in butterscotch chips for a fun twist
If dark chocolate chips are scarce, semi-sweet chocolate chips are a great alternative

Pro Tips

1. Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start, ’cause cold butter or eggs can mess up your mix and end up with a lumpy dough.
2. When folding in your crushed Oreos and cookie bits, be gentle and dont over mix the dough; overmixing will toughen your cookies instead of keeping them soft and chewy.
3. Every oven is different, so keep an eye on them. If they look done around the edges but the centers still seem soft, let ’em rest on the sheet for an extra minute or two before moving to a rack.
4. If you’re worried your cookies might spread too much, chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before you bake ’em. It helps keep their shape and makes your work a lot easier.
