Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon blue gel food coloring (more for deeper color)
- 1 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup (80g) chopped Oreo cookies (about 8 cookies)
- 1/2 cup (90g) white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (80g) rainbow sprinkles (jimmies)
- Extra sprinkles and Oreo pieces for topping (optional)
- Pinch of almond extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat another 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Scrape down sides of the bowl. Add blue gel food coloring and mix until dough is bright blue.
- Add flour mixture to wet mixture in two additions. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in mini chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles with a rubber spatula.
- Scoop dough by heaping tablespoons or use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tbsp each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Press extra sprinkles or Oreo chunks on top if desired.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers still look slightly soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Serve warm or store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
For extra-thick cookies, chill the dough for 30-60 minutes before baking. Use gel food coloring for best color and texture. Mini chips and jimmies sprinkles work best. Cookies can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with appropriate substitutions. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
