Let's Make Cookie Magic
- Get Everything Ready
- Turn your oven to 350°F grab your baking sheets line them with parchment or those silicone mats. Pull out your butter and eggs early they need to be room temp!
- Mix Your Dry Team
- Whisk your flour cornstarch baking soda and salt together in a bowl. This helps everything mix evenly later no flour pockets in your cookies!
- Make It Creamy
- Beat your soft butter with both sugars until it looks light and fluffy about 2 minutes. Add your eggs and vanilla mix just until they disappear into the butter.
- Color Time
- Start mixing in your dry ingredients then add all three colors. Don't worry if it looks too bright it'll bake up perfect! Keep mixing until your dough is thick and that blue is even.
- The Good Stuff
- Time for mix-ins! Fold in your white chocolate chips chopped Oreos and Chips Ahoy. Save some for pressing on top makes them look extra tempting.
- Shape Em Up
- Roll dough into balls about 2 tablespoons each. Press extra cookies and chips all over the outside this is what makes them look like Cookie Monster would love them!
- Baking Time
- Space them out on your pan about 8 per sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes pull them out before they brown we want them soft! One pan at a time gets the best results.
- The Finish Line
- Let them cool 15 minutes right on the pan they're delicate when hot. Once they're firm move them to a rack.
