How to Serve Cookie Monster Cookies

Tips to Make Cookie Monster Cookies

  • Ensure your butter is softened, not melted, for the best texture.
  • Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour; this helps keep the cookies soft.
  • You can adjust the amount of blue candy-coated chocolate to your liking for extra color.

Variation

Feel free to get creative with your Cookie Monster Cookies! You can add crushed nuts, dried fruits, or even swap out the chocolate chips for white chocolate or caramel bits.

FAQs

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

Yes, you can use margarine, but the texture and flavor may be slightly different.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to use one that is a 1:1 substitute.

How can I make the cookies chewy?

To achieve chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help retain moisture.
