Cookie Monster Cookies
Famous blue cookie monster cookies are bright, full of cookies, super simple to make and one recipe makes 24 cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3.4 ounce vanilla instant pudding mix dry mix only
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Blue food coloring we combined a sky blue and aqua blue, but use your preferred color
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup Oreo cookies crushed
- ½ cup mini Chips Ahoy or Famous Amos cookies crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, dry pudding mix, baking soda, salt, and baking powder.
- Mix dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture, just until combined.
- Add food coloring and mix thoroughly, but only as much as needed. Overmixing will make tough cookies.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and cookie pieces (you may wish to reserve a bit of each to place decoratively on the cookies when they come out of the oven.)
- Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into a ball. Place on baking sheet, leaving a couple inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven. If you’d like to strategically place additional chocolate chips and cookie pieces, do so as soon as the cookies come out of the oven, before they set. Leave cookies on baking sheet for about 5 minutes to firm before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes
STORAGE: Keep cookies for up to 5 days in an airtight container or freeze up to 3 months. NOTES: The pudding mix is what makes them extra chewy and soft and gives them that smooth puddly look. Any chocolate chips and cookies can be used! We used regular Oreos and mini Famous Amos cookies. We prefer to use gel-based food coloring because you get a lot of color with just a little of food coloring.
