Delicious and fun monster chocolate chip cookies, perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Candy eyes for decoration
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- Stuffed cookies (like Oreos) for the center
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, if using.
- Form Cookies: Take a scoop of dough, flatten it slightly, place a stuffed cookie in the center, and wrap the dough around it. Ensure it is completely covered.
- Decorate with Candy Eyes: Place candy eyes on top of each cookie for decoration.
- Bake: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened, not melted, for the best texture.
- Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking can prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- For a gooey center, don’t overbake the cookies; they will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Feel free to experiment with different candies or nuts for variety.
