Cookie Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you’re crazy for cookies, then you’re going to love these colorful Cookie Monster Cookies!!

Inspired by one of our favorite Sesame Street characters, these giant chocolate chip cookies are topped with bright blue frosting (of course!) and loads of cookie crumbles. They’re fun and delicious! Wouldn’t they be perfect for a birthday party??

First, we started with a from-scratch chocolate chip cookie dough, though you could also use pre-made cookies to save time. These are delicious bakery style cookies! In fact, I dare you to find sometime cuter at the store! These are just adorable!

Next, we whipped up a bright blue icing that is inspired by the bright blue fur of the Cookie Monster. This really makes the cookies pop!

Finally, we topped our cookies with……..

MORE COOKIES!!!

We crumbled up Oreo cookies and chocolate chip cookies — we used Mini Chips Ahoy to save time, so you don’t need to bake another batch of cookies.

These truly are cookies that are fit for the Cookie Monster!

Instructions

You’ll need at least 30 minutes total time to make this recipe. The cookies themselves bake in about 10-12 minutes and it’s only about 10 minutes prep time. However, they need time to cool before frosting.

To Make the Cookie Dough

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  2. Cream together butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer.
  3. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
  4. Add flour and baking soda and combine these remaining dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, until a soft dough forms.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Drop 8-10 large balls of dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees.

TIP: Try making the cookies with white chocolate chips for a new flavor combo! More tips in the FAQ section!

  4. Top with crushed cookies, gently pressing the cookie pieces in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Cookies Does This Recipe Make?

This recipe makes about 8-10 cookies. They are BIG cookies, fit for a cookie monster!

A larger cookie gives you more surface area to decorate. However, if you’d like to make smaller cookies, you can do so. Just keep in mind that smaller cookies will bake faster, so start checking them at 7-8 minutes.

Can You Use Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough?

In this post I included a recipe to make chocolate chip cookies from scratch. However, you can also use store-bought chocolate chip cookies or refrigerated cookie dough to save time!

Then you can decorate them with the blue frosting and cookie crumbles.

Keep in mind that using packaged dough or pre-made cookies will give you a different yield than our from-scratch cookie recipe.

If you really want to switch things up, you could use a different type of cookie for the base, such as peanut butter cookies! Have fun with it!

Can You Make This Recipe Gluten Free?

Yes! With a few simple swaps these can be gluten-free cookies!

First, you’ll want to use a gluten-free all purpose flour instead of regular flour.

Next, you’ll want to purchase gluten free sandwich cookies and gluten free mini chocolate chip cookies, for the topping.

As always, I recommend that you check the packaging on all ingredients to be sure that there is no potential for cross-contamination, if that is a concern.

Do These Cookies Need to be Refrigerated?

These cookies are best stored at room temperature, in an airtight container. I recommend storing them in a single layer, so the icing stays pretty.

Keeping these cookies in the fridge is not needed and can actually dry them out more quickly.
