Blue Monster Cookie Treats
If there was ever a cookie that could make both kids and adults grin ear-to-ear, it’s these Blue Monster Cookie Treats. Inspired by everyone’s favorite cookie-loving monster, these fun and whimsical cookies are perfect for birthday parties, Halloween gatherings, or just a rainy Saturday afternoon in the kitchen.
The bright blue color, the big candy eyes, and the chocolate-stuffed mouths make these cookies not only a delicious treat but also a centerpiece-worthy dessert. Every bite has the best of both worlds: soft, chewy cookie dough and the crunch of Oreos.
These cookies have become a tradition in my kitchen, especially when little helpers are around. There’s something magical about letting the kids place the candy eyes and press Oreos into the warm cookies—each one ends up with its own little personality. And honestly, isn’t that the best part of baking? Not just the eating, but the laughter that comes with creating something playful.

Notes
Cozy Storytelling & Serving Ideas
There’s nothing more joyful than seeing a tray of these cookies come out of the oven, each one looking like it might come alive and giggle. They’re the ultimate party cookies—bright, funny, and delicious.
Pair them with a tall glass of milk, serve on a birthday dessert table, or wrap individually in clear treat bags tied with a ribbon for party favors. If you want to make them extra indulgent, sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies for a monster ice cream sandwich.
These cookies also freeze well. Simply place cooled cookies in an airtight container with parchment between the layers. When ready to serve, thaw at room temperature or pop in the microwave for a few seconds.
Variations? Try swapping white chocolate for peanut butter chips, or add sprinkles into the dough for even more festive fun.
