These blue cookie monster cookies are loaded with chocolate chips, cookie pieces, and stuffed with an Oreo in the centre! They’re fun to make for both adults and kids alike!
If I were a sesame street character, I would absolutely be the cookie monster. As you can tell by the name of the blog, I am obsessed with cookies (give me peanut butter cookies or chocolate chip cookies any day).
So these cookie monster cookies are what I like to imagine an authentic cookie monster recipe from the monster himself would look like.
You may have seen the blue Tiktok cookies stuffed with Hershey’s chocolate, and these cookies are taking it up a notch with chocolate chips AND crushed cookies, plus an Oreo cookie baked right into the centre! Your inner cookie monster is going to LOVE them!
Why You’ll Love My Cookie Monster Cookies
- These cookie monster cookies combine chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, Oreos, and chocolate chip cookies all wrapped in a soft and gooey cookie dough!
- They can be made using regular dairy ingredients, or you can make them entirely dairy free using dairy free butter and vegan white chocolate.
- These are BIG cookies – just how I imagine cookie monster would like them!
- These cookies are easy to customize and you can really add any mix-ins you’d like. If you don’t have Oreos, you can leave those out and either stuff the cookies with a chocolate bar, or leave out the filling entirely – the world is your oyster!
- If you’re looking for a fun cookie monster recipe for kids to make – this is it! Add some edible googly eyes to make them look like the cookie monster himself!
Ingredients Needed
- Flour: This recipe was developed with all-purpose flour, and has not been tested with gluten free flour.
- Butter: This recipe has been tested with regular butter and dairy free butter – both work great!
- Egg: You’ll need one egg. This recipe has not been tested with any egg substitutes, but you could try one flax egg.
- Blue Food Coloring: I use the liquid kind, but you can use any kind you’d like. Amount needed will vary, so just keep adding until you achieve the desired color you’d like.
- Oreos: regular classic Oreo’s work best. And yes – Oreos are dairy free!
- Chocolate Chips: I like to use a combination of white and semisweet. You can use regular or dairy free chocolate chips.
- Chocolate Chip Cookies: If you are not dairy free, you can use regular Chips Ahoy or mini Chips Ahoy. In some countries, the mini Chips Ahoy don’t contain milk (always check the packaging if you’re allergic!), or you can use dairy free mini chocolate chip cookies.
Step By Step Instructions
Note: Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.
Step One: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Chop up 3-4 Oreos and the mini chocolate chip cookies for later. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda then set aside.
Step Two: In the bowl of a handheld mixer or standing mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes). Mix in the egg, food coloring, and vanilla extract.
Step Three: Add in the flour, salt, and baking soda, and mix until just combined (don’t over-mix). Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and chopped mini chocolate chip cookies.
Step Four: Scoop 10 heaping tablespoons of dough onto each baking sheet. They should be fairly big.
Press a whole Oreo cookie slightly into the dough, then add more dough on top to cover the Oreo completely.
Step Five: Bake the cookie monster cookies one tray at a time in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until edges and top look set.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
TikTok Cookies Variation
If you want to make these cookie monster cookies the way they make them on the viral Tiktok video, leave out the Oreos and chocolate chip cookies in the dough.
Follow the step by step instructions as written, then instead of placing a whole Oreo into the dough, place 2-3 pieces of milk or semisweet chocolate on top of the first ball of dough.
Cover the chocolate with more dough then bake and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- Properly measure your flour – If you over-measure your flour, the cookie dough and the cookies will be too dry and crumbly. It is very easy to over-measure your flour, so I strongly recommend weighing it with a $10 kitchen scale or using the scoop and level method.
- Don’t over-mix – The texture of the cookies will be affected if you over-mix the dough! Only mix until the last specks of flour are gone, then use a spoon to fold in the cookie pieces and chocolate chips.
- Cover the Oreo cookie completely – Be sure to use enough dough that the Oreo is completely covered.
- Add googly eyes on top of the cookies for fun! Kids will love this! Place the edible googly eyes into the prepared dough balls right before baking.
- Do not over-bake the cookie monster cookies! Because of the color of the cookies, it can be hard to tell when the cookies are ready. You don’t want to let them get golden brown – if they are golden brown they are over-baked and won’t be as soft! It’s better to under-bake than over-bake in my opinion, so start checking on them early. You can always test one cookie before-hand as well.
Storage Instructions
The cookies are best when fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. You can also freeze the unbaked dough or the baked cookies!

Hi! I want to freeze the cookies ahead of time to bake them later this week, but I’m concerned that the Oreo cookie and other cookies in the dough will get soggy. Have you had any problems with this? Thank you! 🙂
Hi Kayla! They shouldn’t be soggy. I would just be sure to thaw first and then add the outside toppings right before baking. Enjoy!
These turned out great! We pressed two candy eyes into them right out of the oven. I also used about 5tsp of butterfly pea flower powder instead of blue food coloring and they’re still blue and it didn’t affect the taste.
Wondering if I can freeze the dough or if they should be baked before freezing?
Freezing the dough should work! Just add a couple extra minutes if baking from frozen.
This is the most bussin’ of all bussin’ things on the whole entire world:)
I really enjoyed these and so did my family. I did do a few substitutions as I wanted to use stuff that I had on hand, so marshmallows and mini chocolate chips work great in this too !! I also added more marshmallows and crushed oreos on top!! Totally recommend 🫶
Can you chill or do they need to be cooked immediately after preparing the dough?
They are fine to chill, but let them come to room temp for a bit after or else they won’t spread as much.
Hey, I made this recipe and it turned out to be so good and delicious. But I want to sell them at school but I dont know how much I should sell them for. Should it be 6 dollars since they are big in size?
I’m so happy to hear you loved the recipe, and how fun that you want to sell them at school! 😊 Pricing can depend on a bunch of things like how much your ingredients cost, how big the cookies are, and what other snacks at school usually go for.It might be fun to ask your friends what they’d be willing to pay or try a little “taste test” sale to see what feels fair for everyone!
Why does it say to scoop ten cookies onto each baking sheet if this only makes ten cookies?
These cookies are larger than your standard cookie, so each ball of dough is around 2 Tablespoons. You scoop one tablespoon of dough, add the Oreo inside, and then it gets topped with another tablespoon of dough. Hope this helps!
Made the cookies haven’t eaten them yet but the instructions were very clear for someone who doesn’t bake often. but the only thing is the sugar candy eyes kind of melted maybe i should have put them in halfway instead of at the start.
Hi Hailey! Thank you for trying out the recipe and leaving a comment 🌟
Press the candy eyeballs into the dough – right after they come out of the oven.
You can also adhere the eyes on with a bit of melted chocolate.
Good Luck!
Was really good but would definitely recommend using a little less salt or unsalted butter I accidentally used salted butter and it turned out really salty other then that tho was 5 stars and will definitely be making these again ^_^
Hi Holly! Thanks for sharing your experience and leaving a review 💖
