Ingredients

Scale

Dough

1 cup butter (room temperature, not too soft)
1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Blue food coloring (to desired shade)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour

Mix-ins

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped Oreos (about 10 Oreos)
3/4 cup chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies (e.g., Famous Amos or mini Chips Ahoy)
3/4 cup milk chocolate discs or chunks of milk chocolate bar
Extra semisweet chocolate chips for topping
Extra white chocolate chips for topping
Extra chopped Oreos for topping
Extra chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven and cream butter and sugars: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 1 minute until combined.
Add eggs, vanilla, and blue food coloring: Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract and continue creaming the mixture for 3 minutes until it becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color. Add blue food coloring a few drops at a time, mixing until you achieve your desired shade of blue.
Combine dry ingredients: Add salt, baking powder, and all-purpose flour to the wet mixture. Mix gently just until there are no visible streaks of flour—avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in mix-ins: Incorporate the semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies. If the dough feels too soft and is likely to spread excessively during baking, refrigerate for 30 minutes before proceeding.
Form cookies with chocolate center: Scoop two tablespoons of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place 2 to 3 milk chocolate discs or chunks in the center, then wrap the dough edges around the chocolate to encase it. Top with an additional two tablespoons of dough, forming a ball around the hidden chocolate center.
Top cookies with extra mix-ins: Press a mixture of extra semisweet and white chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and chopped crispy cookies onto the top of each dough ball to enhance texture and appearance.
Bake: Place the cookie dough balls on a lined or greased baking sheet, leaving sufficient space for spreading. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If cookies spread too much during baking, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before shaping.
Using a variety of cookie types for the mix-ins creates a pleasing crunchy and chewy texture contrast.
The blue food coloring choice is key to achieving the Cookie Monster look—gel food coloring works best for vibrant color.
Milk chocolate discs melt into a gooey center providing a delightful surprise inside each cookie.
Ensure butter is not too soft to maintain dough structure and prevent excessive spreading.
