These Cookie Monster cookies are monstrously delicious, a true reflection of the Sesame Street character who shares my unbridled passion for cookies!
My chocolate chips Cookie Monster cookies are as delicious as the famous cookie Monster cookies viral recipe on TikTok, but I decided to use a whole Oreo at its center, giving it an extra mouthwatering look when you cut into it.
We love these delicious cookies for their burst of chocolatey flavors, soft centers, and satisfying crunch, which transport us right into Cookie Monster's playful and delicious world.

Recipe Questions
What can I use instead Oreo cookie in the center?

Why are my cookies spreading too much?
Make sure to chill the dough before baking and use the exact amount of flour to prevent over-spreading.
Can I make these cookies without food coloring?
If you prefer not to use food coloring, you can skip it, but the cookies won't have the vibrant blue color associated with Cookie Monster.
Can I make them gluten-free?
