Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk or non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Blue food coloring (gel works best)
Mix-ins
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10 cookies)
Instructions
- Heat-Treat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes to eliminate potential bacteria. Allow the flour to cool completely before using in the recipe to ensure safety.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing continuously until you form a smooth, cohesive dough.
- Color the Dough: Add a few drops of blue gel food coloring to the dough. Mix well until the color is evenly distributed. Add more drops as needed to achieve the vibrant blue shade reminiscent of the Cookie Monster.
- Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring the mix-ins are evenly incorporated throughout the dough without overmixing.
- Serve: Scoop the cookie dough into bowls or roll into small bite-sized balls. Enjoy immediately for a soft, creamy treat or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to five days for a firmer texture.
