Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

All-Purpose Flour: The base of any great cookie; sifting it ensures a light and fluffy texture.
Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness; feel free to adjust based on your personal preference.
Brown Sugar: This gives our cookies that chewy texture; dark brown sugar adds even more depth.
Unsalted Butter: Make sure it’s softened for easy mixing; it helps create tender cookies.
Eggs: One large egg binds everything together; room temperature eggs mix better with other ingredients.
Baking Soda: This leavening agent ensures our cookies rise beautifully in the oven.
Vanilla Extract: A splash enhances the overall flavor; always go for pure vanilla extract if possible!
Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chips work best here, but feel free to mix in milk chocolate or white chocolate for variety.
Blue Sprinkles: The pièce de résistance that makes these cookies look like they belong in a cartoon!

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This step sets the stage for our cookie magic by ensuring they don’t stick.

Melt the Butter: In a mixing bowl, melt your unsalted butter until smooth but not bubbling. This will help create that perfect chewy texture we all love.

Mix Your Sugars: Combine granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter using a hand mixer until creamy. Watch how it transforms into a silky mixture before your eyes—pure bliss!

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in one egg along with vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The aroma will make you want to dive right into the bowl.

Sift Dry Ingredient: In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. Gradually add this mixture into your wet ingredients while mixing gently until just combined—no overmixing here!

Fold in Chocolate Chips & Sprinkles: Gently fold in chocolate chips and blue sprinkles using a spatula until evenly distributed. Let those colors shine through!

Scoop & Bake: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain slightly soft.

Let them cool slightly before transferring to wire racks—if you can resist!

Enjoy every gooey bite of these delightful Cookie Monster Cookies while reminiscing about simpler times when life was all about laughter and sweets.
