Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and well combined, which usually takes a few minutes.
Add Eggs, Vanilla, and Color: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract and a few drops of blue gel food coloring, mixing well until the dough is evenly tinted in vibrant blue.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet Mixture: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough which can lead to tough cookies.
Fold in Chips and Cookie Pieces: Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, crushed chocolate chip cookies, and mini Oreos to add texture and flavor throughout the dough.
Shape Cookies and Add Eyeballs: Scoop the dough into approximately 2-tablespoon-sized balls, spacing each a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press candy eyeballs onto the top of each cookie dough ball for decoration.
Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and slightly underbaked for the perfect chewy texture.
Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they hold their shape and texture.

Notes

For the brightest blue color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid to avoid thinning the dough.
Customize your cookies by mixing in chopped chocolate bars or drizzling melted chocolate on top for an extra indulgent treat.
These cookies are especially popular at children’s birthday parties and themed gatherings due to their fun appearance.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
