Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp blue liquid food coloring (adjust for desired color)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Crushed chocolate chip cookies (for filling and topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Make the Cookie Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and blue food coloring, mixing until well combined and evenly colored. - Add the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. - Fold in the Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold the white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough. - Prepare the Stuffed Cookies:
Scoop a portion of dough (about 2 tablespoons), flatten it in your hand, and place a piece of crushed chocolate chip cookie in the center. Cover with another portion of dough and carefully seal the edges, making sure the cookie is completely encased in the dough. - Bake the Cookies:
Arrange the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave enough space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for about 13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft. - Cool and Serve:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these Cookie Monster Cookies—a fun, colorful, and indulgent treat filled with hidden surprises!
