TikTok Cookie Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies
Our easy Cookie Monster Cookies may resemble the viral recipe from TikTok, but I’ve added my own spin and ingredient swaps to make them even better.
These blue monster cookies begin with a homemade cookie dough base that’s been scooped and stuffed with melty chocolate in the middle and made into a super-sized treat.
Not only are these treats bright and vibrant blue like the famous Cookie Monster Sesame Street character himself, but they’re loaded with chocolate chip cookies, Oreos and stuffed with milk chocolate candy that melts as it bakes.
Chewy, chocolatey, big, and beautiful, each bite brings out the cookie monster in all of us!

Jump to RecipeHow to Make Cookie Monster Cookies
- Make The Flour Mixture: Whisk together the flour and baking powder and set aside.
- Make The Batter: Beat the butter until smooth, then mix in the sugars and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs, one at a time and then mix in the food color gel until the color is uniform and no streaks remain. Add the flour mixture in 1 cup at a time, mixing after each cup.
Pro Tip: The color should be vivid and vibrant. You can add extra drops until the desired color is reached. Also, remember that it may fade just a bit when you add the flour. - Add Chips and Chill: Mix the semi-sweet chips and the white baking chips into the batter. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Scoop and Stuff: Scoop the cookie dough and slightly flatten. Place 2 candy melt wafers in the center of each dough ball. Roll the dough around the wafers to form a ball.
- Bake: Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
- Top Your Treats: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, top them with cookie pieces. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5-7 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Serve: Serve and enjoy!
What Type of Food Coloring Should I Use?
I prefer to use gel food coloring for my cookies because it is more concentrated than liquid food coloring, but if you only have liquid food coloring, use twice the amount to give the cookies a bright blue color.
Tips for the Best Cookie Monster Cookies
- You can substitute full-size chopped Oreos and Chips Ahoy for the mini versions.
- You can add candy eyes as a decoration for the cookies.
- You can substitute full-size Oreo cookies for the milk chocolate wafers in the center of the cookies.
- Do not overbake these cookies! They will start to turn brown and we cannot have that!
How to get perfectly round cookies?
This is my favorite trick to get perfectly round cookies! As soon as they come out of the oven, take a drinking glass and surround the just baked cookie. While the cookie is still on the baking sheet, give the cookie a gentle swirl inside the glass. Now you have a perfect round cookie!
