# Instructions:
01 -
First, set the oven to 350°F. Grab a big mixing bowl and combine the two sugars with the butter. Mix vigorously for a minute until smooth and creamy.
02 -
Mix in the vanilla and eggs. Keep beating for about three minutes until the mixture gets light, airy, and has a paler shade. Stir in blue coloring until the vibrant blue you want appears.
03 -
Throw the flour, baking powder, and salt in next. Mix until everything holds together, and no dry streaks are visible. Don’t overdo it with mixing here.
04 -
Combine the chips, Oreo pieces, and broken cookie bits with the dough. If it seems sticky, chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
05 -
Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it, and add 2 or 3 chocolate pieces in the middle. Fold the sides of the dough around the chocolate. Then, grab two more tablespoons of dough and press on top to cover the filling.
06 -
Put extra toppings—chips, cookie pieces, and Oreo chunks—right onto the balls of dough. Press gently to make them stick.
07 -
Place the cookies on a baking tray with parchment paper, with plenty of space in between. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let them set on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
# Notes:
01 -
For crunchy cookie bits, Famous Amos ones work best. Chips Ahoy minis are a solid backup.
02 -
These cookies expand quite a lot as they bake, so leave extra room between them.
03 -
They're done when the edges look set. The centers might seem underdone, but they'll finish cooking as they cool on the tray.
