15 -
A handful of extra semi-sweet chocolate chips
16 -
Some extra white chocolate chips
17 -
Extra Oreo crumbles
18 -
More mini crispy cookie pieces
# Steps:
01 -
Turn the oven on to 350°F. Combine butter and both sugars in a large bowl, beating for about a minute until they're blended well.
02 -
Mix in the eggs and vanilla until the texture turns pale, fluffy, and light. This should take about 3 minutes. Add a few drops of blue food dye, going as vibrant as you'd like for that Cookie Monster look!
03 -
Pour in the baking powder, salt, and flour and mix just enough so you can't see white flour streaks anymore. Don't overwork it; gentle mixing works best here.
04 -
Carefully stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chips, crumbled Oreos, and crispy mini cookies. If the dough feels too sticky, chill it for half an hour before using.
05 -
Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it, and pop a piece or two of milk chocolate in the middle. Wrap the dough around the chocolate to cover it, then make a sandwich with 2 more tablespoons of dough on top, sealing the edges.
06 -
Stick extra chips, Oreo crumbs, and cookie pieces on top of each cookie ball. This makes them look extra packed with goodies.
07 -
Lay the cookies on parchment-lined or greased trays, leaving lots of space in between for spreading. Bake 10-12 minutes, then cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a rack.
# Notes:
01 -
For crispy cookie chunks, Famous Amos works best, followed by Chips Ahoy minis.
02 -
These cookies spread a lot, so allow for extra spacing on your baking sheet.
03 -
Edges should look solid when done baking, but the center should seem underbaked. It'll firm up as it cools.
