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 (to desired shade)
  • 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

Toppings (Optional)

  • Extra semisweet chocolate chips
  • Extra white chocolate chips
  • Extra chopped Oreos
  • Extra chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat and cream butter and sugars: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 1 minute until well combined and smooth.
  2. Add eggs, vanilla, and blue food coloring: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract and continue creaming for 3 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color. Slowly add blue food coloring until the dough reaches your desired blue shade.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the salt, baking powder, and flour. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until there are no visible streaks of flour. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  4. Incorporate mix-ins: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and chopped crispy chocolate chip cookies evenly throughout the dough. If the dough feels too soft or spreads excessively, refrigerate it for 30 minutes before baking.
  5. Shape the cookies: Scoop two tablespoons of dough and flatten it slightly. Place 2-3 milk chocolate discs in the center. Wrap the dough edges around the chocolate discs and then top with an additional two tablespoons of dough, sealing the chocolate inside.
  6. Add extra toppings: Generously top each dough ball with extra semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and crispy chocolate chip cookie pieces for a colorful and textured finish.
  7. Bake and cool: Place the cookie dough balls on a lined or greased baking sheet, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If your dough is too soft and the cookies spread too much, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use good quality cookies for the mix-ins to maximize flavor and texture.
  • You can adjust the amount of blue food coloring to achieve your preferred shade.
  • Make sure not to overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
