Description
Make fun, blue cookies resembling the Cookie Monster character.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Blue food coloring (gel recommended)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup googly candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add blue food coloring until you reach a bright blue color. Mix in the chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set. Do not overbake.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, press two googly candy eyes onto the top of each cookie to resemble the Cookie Monster.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for the most intense blue color without adding too much liquid to the dough.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping if your dough seems too soft.
- You can substitute mini chocolate chips for the regular ones if you prefer a more uniform look.
