Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
2 Baking Sheet(s)
1½-Tablespoon Cookie Portion Scoop

Ingredients

17.5 ounces sugar cookie mix (1 bag)*
1 large egg room temperature
½ cup salted butter melted (1 stick)
1-2 drops blue gel food coloring **
¼ cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 6 cookies)
½ cup crushed chocolate chip cookies (about 6 cookies)
Candy eyes optional, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix the cookie mix, egg, melted butter, and blue food coloring in a large bowl until a thick, blue dough forms. Add more coloring, if needed, until the dough reaches your desired color.
17.5 ounces sugar cookie mix, 1 large egg, ½ cup salted butter, 1-2 drops blue gel food coloring
Fold in the white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, and chocolate chip cookies. Stir the dough well so that the add-ins are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Use your clean hands to knead the dough a few times so that everything is well dispersed.
¼ cup white chocolate chips, ¼ cup dark chocolate chips, ½ cup crushed Oreo cookies, ½ cup crushed chocolate chip cookies
Using a 1½ inch cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Add extra chips, cookie pieces, and candy eyes if desired, and then bake for 7-11 minutes or until the cookies are set but still soft and the edges are just beginning to brown.

Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

*I used sugar cookie mix, but you can also use chocolate chip cookie mix. I found the color looked more vibrant with the sugar cookie mix, though.

**I used gel food coloring and added a good amount. You can also use a liquid blue food coloring if needed, but it may take a lot of drops to get a deep blue color.

Tips:

For a more homemade taste, you can use homemade sugar cookie dough and simply add the mix-ins and food coloring. This recipe also works with chocolate chip cookie dough, but the blue color may not turn out as bright.
Be sure to use crunchy chocolate chip cookies as your mix-in. I used the Great Value brand “Chippers,” but you can use any brand or use homemade.
Feel free to swap in your favorite cookies, like peanut butter cookies or brownie cookies.
Other fun mix-in ideas include mini marshmallows, graham crackers, caramels, and chopped candy bars!
Don't crush the cookies too small, or you won't get nice crunchy pieces in every bite.
For a fun surprise, wrap the cookie dough around a whole Oreo or chocolate chip cookie before baking!
Take care not to overbake the cookies; otherwise, the color will not be as vivid. Pull them as soon as the tops start to look matte.
