Description
These striking blue cookies feature a scientifically balanced dough that perfectly encapsulates a whole Oreo cookie for a delightful surprise. Each bite offers a complex texture, ranging from a soft, fudge-like center to a crisp, golden-brown edge.
Ingredients
- 151g (2/3 cup) Unsalted Butter, softened to 65°F
- 100g (1/2 cup) Granulated Sugar
- 100g (1/2 cup) Light Brown Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Blue Gel Food Coloring
- 280g (2 cups + 2 Tbsp) All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 3/4 teaspoon Table Salt
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup Semisweet and White Chocolate Chips
- 35g (1/3 cup) Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies, chopped
- 14 Oreo Cookies (10 whole for stuffing, 4 crushed for the dough)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Chop 4 Oreos and the mini chocolate chip cookies into small fragments.
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the softened butter with both sugars on medium speed for 2 minutes until pale and aerated.
- Add the egg and blue gel food coloring, mixing for another 30 seconds until the emulsion is smooth and the color is even.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then add to the mixer on low speed, mixing just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Using a silicone spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips, crushed Oreo pieces, and mini cookie fragments by hand.
- Divide the dough into 10 portions (approx. 42g each) and press a whole Oreo cookie into each. Top with another 42g of dough and seal the edges to fully enclose the Oreo.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and opaque while the center remains soft.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To ensure the best structural integrity, always use a digital scale to measure your ingredients in grams rather than volume. If the dough feels too soft to handle during assembly, chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up the fats. For the most vibrant blue hue, use a high-quality gel-based food coloring which won’t alter the dough’s moisture levels.
