Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 20 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
  • 50 g (1/4 cup) light brown sugar
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Blue gel food coloring

Dry Ingredients

  • 230 g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Mix-ins

  • 40 g (1/4 cup) dark chocolate chips
  • 40 g (1/4 cup) white chocolate chips
  • 30 g (1/4 cup) crushed mini cookies
  • 3 Oreos, chopped

For Stuffing

  • 12 whole Oreos

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using a mixer for about 2 minutes until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  2. Add Egg, Vanilla, and Coloring: Add the room temperature egg, vanilla extract, and blue gel food coloring into the bowl. Mix again for about 1 minute until the batter is smooth and evenly colored.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
  4. Mix in Chocolate and Cookies: Add the dark and white chocolate chips, crushed mini cookies, and chopped Oreos into the dough. Stir gently to distribute evenly without overmixing.
  5. Chill Dough: Cover the dough tightly and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes to firm up, which makes it easier to handle.
  6. Stuff with Whole Oreos: Portion out the chilled dough, flatten each piece, then place one whole Oreo in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the Oreo, ensuring it is fully encased.
  7. Chill Cookies Again: Arrange the stuffed dough balls on a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes to help them hold their shape during baking.
  8. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges become lightly golden but the centers remain soft for that perfect chewy texture.
  9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes after baking, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for best creaming results.
  • The blue gel food coloring adds a fun, vibrant look reminiscent of the Cookie Monster character but can be adjusted or omitted as desired.
  • Chilling the dough twice helps maintain the cookie shape especially when wrapping around the whole Oreos.
  • Do not overbake to keep the centers soft and chewy.
  • Use a spatula to fold dry ingredients to avoid overworking the dough which can toughen the cookies.
