Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups (250 grams) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2/3 cup (113 grams) white chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup chopped Chips Ahoy cookies
- 2/3 cup chopped Oreos
Additional Flavoring and Binding Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Gel food coloring (royal blue, electric blue, violet)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and lining baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Sift together all dry ingredients in a medium bowl to ensure even distribution of flour, salt, and leavening agents.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip softened butter with granulated and brown sugars using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and airy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract until completely integrated.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined, then gently fold in food coloring to achieve desired shade.
- Carefully introduce half of the chosen mix-ins into the cookie dough, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
- Scoop rounded portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, then press remaining mix-ins onto the exterior of each cookie for enhanced visual appeal and texture.
- Place cookies in preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, removing when edges are lightly golden and centers appear slightly soft but set.
Notes
- Swap out regular flour for gluten-free flour blend to make these cookies celiac-friendly and equally delicious.
- Reduce sugar content by using monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a lower-calorie version that still tastes amazing.
- Chill cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to ensure easy cookie removal and prevent sticking without extra grease.
