Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter (2 sticks, room temperature)
  • 1 ¼ cups (267g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Coloring and Mix-ins

  • Royal blue gel food coloring
  • Electric blue gel food coloring
  • Violet gel food coloring
  • 2/3 cup (113g) white chocolate chips (divided)
  • 2/3 cup chopped Chips Ahoy cookies (preferably mini)
  • 2/3 cup chopped Oreos

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C). Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a larger mixing bowl, beat the room temperature unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is fluffy and pale in color.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, beating for an additional 30 seconds to combine thoroughly.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients and Food Coloring: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Before fully mixing, add substantial amounts of royal blue, electric blue, and violet gel food coloring to achieve a vivid, true blue dough. Continue mixing until the dough is thick and evenly colored.
  6. Add Mix-ins: Fold in ⅓ cup of white chocolate chips, ⅓ cup chopped Chips Ahoy cookies, and ⅓ cup chopped Oreos by hand until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Shape Cookies and Add Toppings: Use a cookie scoop to form 2-tablespoon-sized dough balls. Roll them into smooth balls between your hands. Press the remaining white chocolate chips, chopped Chips Ahoy cookies, and Oreos onto the surface of each dough ball to create a decorative topping.
  8. Bake: Place about 8 cookies per sheet on the prepared baking mat or parchment. Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, pulling the cookies out before the edges begin to brown for a soft texture.
  9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate. This helps them set and maintain their shape.

Notes

  • Using gel food coloring yields a vibrant blue without altering the dough’s consistency like liquid colorings might.
  • Be sure to only bake one cookie sheet at a time to allow for even heat distribution and consistent baking.
  • Pull the cookies from the oven just before the edges brown for the best soft and chewy texture.
  • Room temperature butter and eggs help to create a smooth, even dough.
  • You can substitute mini cookie pieces with regular-sized cookies chopped finely if needed.
