Fun Monster Cookies

Dive into blue beast fun with these packed cookies that elevate the TikTok hit to something special. These huge treats show off bright blue dough stuffed with chocolate bits, broken cookies, and a melty chocolate middle that makes for the ultimate monster-worthy bite that lives up to their Cookie Monster name.

I whipped these up first with my niece when she spotted the TikTok version scrolling on her phone. Her jaw dropped when we pulled out the finished batch! We've baked them together multiple times now, with her swearing they're the "most amazing cookies ever" while sporting a cute blue-tinted grin from munching them hot from the oven.

Essential Cookie Components

• Butter forms that lush, soft foundation all good cookies need—just make sure it's nice and soft for better mixing
• Brown sugar brings richness and moisture from its molasses—its slight caramel notes really boost the chocolate taste
• White sugar works with the brown sugar to create those crunchy edges everybody craves
• Eggs hold everything together while adding fluffiness during beating—don't rush the mixing stage
• Vanilla offers that subtle base flavor that makes everything pop—stick with real extract if you can
• Blue food coloring turns basic dough into Cookie Monster magic—gel types work better for bright color without thinning the dough
• Chocolate chips in dark and white varieties create yummy contrast and look great too
• Broken Oreos add that famous cocoa-cookie snap that makes these cookies stand out
• Crunchy chocolate chip cookies bring another texture level—those tiny store-bought ones are perfect here
• Chocolate discs create the gooey center that makes everyone smile—regular chips won't melt the same way

Fantastic Monster Assembly

Creamy Foundation

Begin by beating your soft butter with both sugars. Let them hang out in your mixer for a full minute, watching them change from gritty to silky. This first step can't be rushed if you want cookies with just the right bite—not too fluffy, not too flat.

Airy Blue Wonder

Drop in your eggs and vanilla, then let the mixer run for three whole minutes. This long mixing puts lots of air into your batter, helping the cookies puff up nicely when baking. Once everything looks light and fluffy, mix in enough blue coloring to get that real Cookie Monster look. I usually add tiny amounts until it seems right—keep in mind the color will fade slightly when flour goes in.

Adding Dry Stuff

Stir in your flour, salt, and baking powder just until the white streaks vanish. Too much mixing now can make your cookies tough, so go easy. Your dough should look like smooth blue satin—even color throughout.

Loading Up Extras

Fold in your chocolate chips and cookie pieces until they're spread through the dough. This part gives these cookies their monster personality—packed with goodies everywhere you bite.

Hidden Treasure

Grab about two spoonfuls of dough and press it flat in your hand. Put 2-3 chocolate discs in the middle, then fold the edges of the dough around the chocolate. Add another two spoonfuls on top, pinching the edges to totally cover the chocolate. This secret center creates that wow-worthy melty middle when someone breaks the cookie open.

Tasty Topping

Push some extra cookie chunks and chocolate chips into the top of each dough ball. This doesn't just make them look cooler but makes sure that classic monster texture jumps out from first glance.
