Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10 cookies)
Wet 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
- Blue food coloring (gel works best)
Instructions
- Heat-Treat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes to kill any potential bacteria. Allow the flour to cool completely before using to ensure safe consumption.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Then add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the heat-treated flour and salt into the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth and cohesive dough forms.
- Color the Dough: Add a few drops of blue food coloring to the dough, mixing well to evenly distribute the color. Add additional coloring as needed to achieve the vibrant blue shade reminiscent of Cookie Monster.
- Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring they are evenly mixed throughout the dough to give each bite rich texture and flavor.
- Serve: Scoop the cookie dough into bowls or roll it into small balls for convenient, bite-sized treats. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to five days to maintain freshness.
