Cookie Monster cookies — chewy blue cookies stuffed with Oreos and chocolate chips, just like the viral Cookie Monster cookies you see online.
These fun Cookie Monster cookies look like the classic blue cookies from TikTok, but with a homemade, bakery-style chocolate chip cookie dough that I test in my recipes.
These blue cookies bake thick, soft, and chewy, packed with chocolate chips and Oreo pieces. The Oreo center gives them that signature Cookie Monster look and the playful texture kids love at parties.
I’ve tested different ratios of blue gel coloring and cocoa to keep the color vibrant without changing the flavor.
This version is the closest to professional bakery-style Cookie Monster cookies, with a soft center and vivid blue shade.

Tips for this recipe
Here are the key steps I use when testing Cookie Monster cookie recipes to keep the blue cookies thick, chewy, and stuffed with Oreos.
- Room-temp ingredients → dough mixes smoother and bakes evenly.
- Don’t overmix once the dry ingredients are in (keeps cookies soft).
- Chill the dough 30 min to stop cookies from spreading too much.
- Space them well on the baking sheet — these cookies spread big.
- Watch the bake — golden edges + soft centers = perfect texture.
How to Make Cookie Monster Cookies
Here’s my step-by-step method for making blue cookie monster cookies with an Oreo in the center, just like the viral versions but with better texture control.
Cream butter + sugars with a mixer for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
Add egg, vanilla, and blue gel coloring, then mix again until the dough is evenly blue.
Add dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt) and fold gently until combined.
Mix in the add-ins — chocolate chips, mini cookie pieces, and chopped Oreos — just until evenly distributed.
Shape the cookies: Take a ball of blue cookie dough, flatten it, place a whole Oreo in the center, and wrap the dough around it.
Chill: Chill dough balls 30 min (or 15–20 min in the freezer).
Bake: Bake on a lined baking sheet at 180°C/350°F for about 15 min, edges golden, centers soft.
Cool: Cool a few minutes on the tray, then move to a rack
Recipe Variations
Fun ways to customize your Cookie Monster cookies, switch the colors, and make them perfect for kids’ birthdays or cookie boxes.
