Ingredients
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
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Add-ins:
- 1 cup mini Oreo cookies
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup crushed shortbread or vanilla wafer cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup. - Cream butter and sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. - Add wet ingredients:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Add the blue food coloring, a little at a time, until the dough reaches your desired shade of blue. - Mix dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, blending until just combined. - Fold in add-ins:
Gently fold in the mini Oreos, white chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, and crushed shortbread cookies with a spatula. - Shape the cookies:
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. - Bake:
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set, and the centers appear slightly underbaked. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill the dough: For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Substitutions: Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version, or swap regular chocolate chips for dairy-free ones to make these cookies vegan-friendly.
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
