Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 20 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Blue gel food coloring (amount to achieve vibrant blue color)

Dry Ingredients

  • 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
  • 50 g (1/4 cup) light brown sugar
  • 230 g (1 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Add-ins

  • 40 g (1/4 cup) dark chocolate chips
  • 40 g (1/4 cup) white chocolate chips
  • 30 g (1/4 cup) crushed mini cookies
  • 3 Oreos, chopped
  • 12 whole Oreos for stuffing

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together for about 2 minutes until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  2. Add Egg, Vanilla, and Coloring: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and blue gel food coloring, continuing to beat the mixture for another minute until smooth and evenly colored.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  4. Fold in Add-ins: Incorporate the dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, crushed mini cookies, and chopped Oreos into the dough evenly.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes to firm up, which helps with shaping later.
  6. Assemble Cookies: Portion out the dough, flatten each piece, place one whole Oreo in the center, then carefully wrap the dough around to fully encase the Oreo.
  7. Second Chill: Arrange the dough-wrapped Oreos on a lined baking sheet and chill again for 30 minutes in the fridge or 15 minutes in the freezer to set the shape.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges turn lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents breakage and helps them set properly.

Notes

  • Use blue gel food coloring sparingly to achieve a vibrant but not overpowering color.
  • Chilling the dough twice is crucial for shape retention and preventing excessive spreading during baking.
  • For softer centers, avoid overbaking; check cookies a minute or two before the recommended time.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
