Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 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 (quantity as desired for color)
- 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 (like Famous Amos or mini Chips Ahoy)
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate discs or chunks of milk chocolate bar
Additional Toppings
- Extra semisweet chocolate chips
- Extra white chocolate chips
- Extra chopped Oreos
- Extra chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies
Instructions
- Preheat and Cream: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 1 minute until well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue creaming for 3 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color. Add blue food coloring incrementally until you reach your desired shade of blue.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix just until there are no visible streaks of flour; be careful not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies. If the dough feels too soft and the cookies spread too much during baking, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before proceeding.
- Shape Cookies with Chocolate Center: Take two tablespoons of dough and flatten it out. Place 2-3 milk chocolate discs or chunks in the center. Wrap the dough edges around the chocolate pieces carefully, then top with an additional two tablespoons of dough, enclosing the chocolate inside.
- Add Toppings: Top each cookie dough ball with a small amount of each mix-in — semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies — for extra texture and visual appeal.
- Bake and Cool: Place the cookies on a lined or greased baking sheet, leaving plenty of space to allow for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If the dough is too soft or the cookies spread excessively during baking, chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps maintain shape.
- You can use any crispy chocolate chip cookies for the chopped cookie mix-ins, such as Famous Amos or mini Chips Ahoy.
- The milk chocolate discs inside the cookies create a molten chocolate center for extra indulgence.
- Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant blue without changing the dough’s consistency.
