Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups (360g) all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter (2 sticks, room temperature)
  • 1 ¼ cups (267g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-Ins

  • Royal blue, electric blue, and violet gel food coloring
  • 2/3 cup (113g) white chocolate chips (divided)
  • 2/3 cup chopped Chips Ahoy cookies (mini cookies preferred)
  • 2/3 cup chopped Oreos

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color, about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next, then mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make the cookies tough.
  6. Divide Dough and Add Food Coloring: Divide the cookie dough evenly into three separate bowls. Add royal blue gel food coloring to one bowl, electric blue to the second, and violet to the third. Mix each until the color is vivid and evenly distributed.
  7. Fold in Add-Ins: Reserve a small portion of the white chocolate chips for garnishing. Equally fold the chopped Chips Ahoy cookies, chopped Oreos, and the majority of the white chocolate chips into each colored dough bowl.
  8. Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop dough portions from each color and combine them slightly together on the baking sheet to create a multicolored cookie look, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press some of the reserved white chocolate chips on top of each cookie for decoration.
  9. Bake: Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but centers still soft.
  10. Cool: Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using room temperature ingredients helps create a smoother dough and even mixing.
  • Be careful not to overmix once dry ingredients are added to avoid tough cookies.
  • Gel food coloring is preferred over liquid to prevent changing dough consistency.
  • Mini cookies make folding easier and distribute better in dough.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
