Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp green gel food coloring
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup coarsely crushed Oreo cookies (about 10)

Equipment

  • hand mixer or stand mixer For creaming butter and sugars efficiently.
  • Cookie Scoop (2-tbsp size) For evenly sized cookies.

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then vanilla and food coloring.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Using a spatula, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
  5. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto prepared sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are set but soft.
  6. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Pro Tips: For the most vibrant green color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid. If your cookie dough seems too soft or sticky, chill it for 20-30 minutes before scooping to prevent excessive spreading. Be careful not to overbake—cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden and centers are still soft. They will continue to set as they cool on the hot baking sheet. Feel free to swap the food coloring for any color to match a holiday or celebration.
