Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Blue gel food coloring
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chip cookies, chopped
- 14 Oreo cookies (10 whole for stuffing, 4 for chopping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Chop 4 of the Oreo cookies and all of the mini chocolate chip cookies into chunky pieces, setting aside the 10 whole Oreos.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together for 1 to 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and blue food coloring until the color is uniform and vibrant.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chips, white chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, and mini cookie pieces by hand.
- Scoop 10 large portions of dough; press the whole Oreos into 5 of the portions and cover them with the remaining 5 scoops of dough.
- Carefully seal the edges to ensure the Oreo centers are completely hidden.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the tops are set but the centers are soft; let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
For the best results, use a high-quality gel-based food coloring to achieve a deep blue hue without altering the moisture content of the dough. If you find the dough is too soft to handle when stuffing the Oreos, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to make the assembly process much easier.
