Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (280g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (5g)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch (7g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed (200g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (10ml)
  • 1 teaspoon blue gel food coloring (or as needed)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (130g)
  • 1 cup mini Chips Ahoy cookies, roughly chopped (75g)
  • 1 cup mini Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (90g)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, optional (85g)

Instructions

  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Let butter and eggs come to room temperature. Chop mini Oreos and Chips Ahoy into small pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  5. Add blue gel food coloring, starting with 1/2 teaspoon and adding more as needed until you reach a bright blue color.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low or by hand with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips (if using), chopped Chips Ahoy, and chopped Oreos. Reserve a few pieces of each for topping.
  8. Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to portion dough onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Press extra cookie pieces and chips on top for decoration.
  9. Bake one sheet at a time in the center of the oven for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are puffed and just set at the edges but still soft in the middle.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best color, use gel food coloring. Do not overmix the dough after adding flour. Press extra cookie pieces and chips on top before baking for a bakery-style look. If dough is sticky, chill for 15 minutes before scooping. Cookies can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with appropriate substitutions. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft.
