The Story & Intro
Hi, I’m INAYA, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. Ever since I was a child, the kitchen has been my favorite playground. My grandmother taught me that baking is a kind of magic a mix of sweetness, love, and patience.
The first time I made chocolate chip cookies, I was about ten years old, using my grandmother’s old wooden spoon and a chipped blue bowl. They weren’t perfect too flat, a little burnt but they filled the house with the smell of butter and vanilla. Years later, inspired by the playful Cookie Monster we all know and love, I decided to make my own fun twist: Cookie Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies soft, chewy, and full of chocolate chunks, with a bright blue color that makes every bite feel like childhood again.
These cookies aren’t just a treat they’re a mood booster! They bring smiles to both kids and adults, making any day instantly better. Whether you’re baking them for a party, for your kids, or just because you need something sweet after a long day, these cookies are the perfect pick-me-up.
In this post, I’ll show you step-by-step how to make these Cookie Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies colorful, gooey, and impossible to resist.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make about 20 cookies:
- 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) white sugar
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- A few drops of blue gel food coloring (Cookie Monster blue!)
- 2¾ cups (345 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup crushed Oreos (optional but delicious!)
- Mini cookies for topping (to decorate like Cookie Monster’s face, optional)
Tip: If you prefer your cookies extra gooey, add an extra yolk it makes them heavenly!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cream the butter and sugars
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. This step is key it traps air in the dough and makes your cookies soft and light.
Step 2: Add eggs, vanilla, and coloring
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Drop in the blue food coloring and watch your dough turn that signature Cookie Monster shade! Adjust color intensity as you like.
Step 3: Mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined don’t overmix.
Step 4: Add the chocolate chips and Oreos
Fold in both kinds of chocolate chips and crushed Oreos. The more chocolate, the better!
Step 5: Chill and bake
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes this step helps prevent spreading. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough balls onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
Serving Suggestions
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes then enjoy while still slightly warm, when the chocolate is melted and gooey. They pair beautifully with a cold glass of milk or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
If you’re serving them for a party, press mini cookies or candy eyes on top while they’re still warm for that playful Cookie Monster look.
