Is there anything better than a classic chocolate chip cookie? One might say no, but not after eating these gigantic monster cookies! These blue-coloured cookies hide inside them a surprise – another cookie, making them the most insane cookies of all!
Cookie inside a cookie-that’s what a monster cookie is all about. The concept is inspired by the Sesame Street Blue Monster, who eats a chocolate chip cookie. The outer layer of the cookie is blue-coloured (just like that sesame street character), and inside is your favourite cookie, i.e., chocolate chip cookie. The giant blue-coloured cookie went viral on TikTok, and everyone is going ga-ga over it.

- Oreo Cookie: the next special cookie used in the recipe is the Oreo Cookie. The chocolate cookies and vanilla cream are perfect to match chocolate chip cookies!
- Chocolate chunks: the blue cookie dough consists of chocolate chunks inside as well as on the top. So, the saying ‘there’s nothing g like too much chocolate’ fits appropriately here.

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe
Experiment with cookies
Try and experiment with flavour using different cookies inside. This way you will get numerous options to make cookie monster cookies.
Do not over bake
Ensure that you are baking the cookies within the recommended time. They are meant to be soft, gooey and crunchy(from the cookies inside). Overbaking will ruin not only the colour of the cookie but also the texture required.
Seal Properly
Just be sure to cover and seal the inside cookies properly when shaping the cookie monster.
How To Store Cookie Monster Cookies
Store these giant cookies in an airtight box. Place the box in a cool, dry place for a week.
If you have cookie dough left with you, cling-wrap it and place it in the freezer for later use. Store it for up to two months.

Though, the blue colour makes it funky and goes with the trend. However, you can definitely skip adding the colour as it won’t affect the overall taste or texture of the cookies.
