Cookie Monster Cookies

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!

How do i make the cookie from turning blue instead of green? Should i cream the butter and sugar long to make it more pale?
If the cookies are turning green I would try a different brand of food coloring! The dough should be blue if using a good quality blue food coloring.
