Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Blue food coloring (gel or paste recommended for vibrant color)

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins:

  • 1 cup mini Oreo cookies
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed shortbread or vanilla wafer cookies

Substitutions:

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free baking flour.
  • Swap the Oreos for gluten-free sandwich cookies or crushed graham crackers.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate chips and butter for a vegan-friendly option.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. This process aerates the mixture, giving your cookies a soft texture.

Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients

Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, followed by 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Add the blue food coloring, mixing until the dough reaches your desired shade of blue. Start with a small amount and build up for a rich, vibrant color.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, blending until just combined.

Step 5: Fold in the Add-ins

Using a spatula, gently fold in 1 cup mini Oreo cookies, 1 cup white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup crushed shortbread cookies. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6: Shape the Cookies

Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 7: Bake and Cool

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly underbaked. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Blue Food Coloring: Use gel or paste food coloring for a deeper color without altering the texture of the dough.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother mix.
  • Cookie Size: For larger cookies, scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough and bake for 14-15 minutes.
  • Custom Add-ins: Swap or add sprinkles, caramel bits, or chopped nuts for a unique twist.
