Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup blue chocolate candies (like M&M’s or similar)

1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 5 Oreos)

1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional for texture)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

          Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, blue chocolate candies, crushed Oreos, and shredded coconut (if using) until evenly distributed.

              Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop generous portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will continue to firm up while cooling).

                  Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Enjoy your whimsical Cookie Monster Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of your favorite coffee!
