These bright blue Cookie Monster Cookies may be all the rage on TikTok, but they're so delicious and fun to make that this trend is definitely here to stay! Stuff them with chocolate, peanut butter cups or more cookies for a tasty family friendly treat!
In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt until fully combined.
Beat butter, sugars & vanilla extract until creamy in a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer.
Add eggs to mixer one at a time scraping the edges of the bowl to ensure all is well incorporated.
Mix in blue food coloring, being careful not to overmix batter.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
Add chocolate chips and cookie pieces if using and fold in with a rubber spatula.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and refrigerate 2 hours up to overnight prior to baking.
When you are ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 and scoop out cookies onto parchment lined baking sheet, leaving enough room in between to account for spreading.
If you are stuffing these cookies, scoop out dough and flatten in your palm so it is slightly larger than the cookie or chocolate pieces you are stuffing inside. Place the treat on top of the dough, then place another scoop of cookie dough on top, smooshing the dough gently with your hands to cover and form a ball.
Bake 18-20 minutes.
Once cookies are baked, remove from the tray on to a cooling rack and allow to cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
