# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Beat softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
02 -
Add eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully, then mix in royal blue gel food coloring until dough has uniform blue color.
03 -
Sift bread flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt directly into the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
04 -
Using a rubber spatula, fold crushed Oreo cookies, crushed Chips Ahoy cookies, white chocolate chips, and semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
05 -
Using a #30 cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons), form 12 dough balls. Flatten each slightly, place a whole Oreo cookie or a square of milk chocolate in the center, then cover with more dough and pinch edges to seal tightly.
06 -
Press two candy eyeballs and extra cookie pieces on top of each cookie dough ball. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to firm the dough.
07 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange chilled cookie dough balls spaced apart. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until edges are set and tops appear slightly cracked.
08 -
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Using bread flour results in thicker, chewier cookies due to higher protein content. Gel food coloring gives a more vibrant blue than liquid food coloring.
02 -
Chilling dough before baking helps maintain shape and enhances flavor.
