Description
These vibrant blue cookies are a textural delight, featuring a soft dough base loaded with white and semi-sweet chocolate chips. By incorporating crushed mini sandwich cookies and classic chocolate chip morsels, you achieve a whimsical, multi-layered treat that is as visually stunning as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Royal blue gel food coloring
- Light blue gel food coloring
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups Mini Oreos (divided)
- 21 Mini Chips Ahoy cookies (divided)
- Candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a heavy-gauge baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, cream the room-temperature butter with the brown and granulated sugars for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix in royal blue and light blue gel coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda; gradually add to the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, 15 chopped Mini Chips Ahoy, and 1 cup of whole Mini Oreos.
- Crush the remaining 6 Chips Ahoy and 1/2 cup of Mini Oreos into crumbs; portion dough into 1/4 cup balls, roll in crumbs, and place on the baking sheet 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the centers are set but not shiny; immediately press candy eyeballs into the warm cookies and let rest on the pan for 15 minutes.
Notes
To ensure your cookies don’t spread too thin, make sure your butter is at a cool room temperature and avoid over-mixing once the flour is added. For the most vibrant color, use high-quality gel food coloring which provides intense pigment without thinning the dough like liquid colors might.
