Blue Oreo-Stuffed Cookies

naturally blue from butterfly pea flowers

A few weeks ago I made Cookie Monster’s Famous Cookie Dough from an old 1975s Sesame Street cookbook. The recipe was nostalgic and adorably written in Cookie Monster’s voice, but the cookies were NOT delicious. The dough was flavorless, dry, and meh. Although I’m sure that Cookie Monster would not discriminate and proclaim that all cookies are delicious, I wanted to bake a batch of Cookie Monster-inspired cookies that would do my favorite Sesame Street character justice.

Naturally colored blue with flowers using Butterfly Pea Flowers, these blue tinged cookies with white chocolate chips are stuffed with Oreo cookies for extra cookie action. Because these are adult-only cookies, let’s infuse them with a Blue Cookies strain to match our theme.

Blue Oreo-Stuffed Cookie Recipe

Monster-sized, Oreo cookie stuffed cookies, naturally colored blue with Butterfly Pea flowers

DOSING: Makes 10 large cookies at 5mg THC each. You’ll need 50mg THC total for this recipe. Approximately 0.35 grams of 20% THC cannabis flower. If your flower is different % THC, double-check your cannamath.

INGREDIENTS:

• ⅔ cup (140g) unsalted cannabutter, room temperature (recipe follows)

• ½ cup (100g) white sugar

• ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• ½ teaspoon Butterfly Pea Flower powder 

• 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour

• ¾ teaspoon salt

• ¾ teaspoon baking soda

• ½ cup white chocolate chips

• 10 Oreo cookies, coarsely broken in large pieces

Cannabutter

• ⅔ cup (140g) unsalted butter, melted

• 0.35 grams of cannabis flower (20% THC)

DIRECTIONS

1. Make cannabutter: Preheat the oven to 240°F. Place 0.35 grams of coarsely ground cannabis flower into a pint-sized 16 oz. mason jar, seal with the lid to reduce smell, and heat for 40 minutes in the oven to decarboxlyate, which activates the THC. Remove from the oven and let cool until the mason jar is safe to touch. The ground flower will look lightly toasted. 

Reduce the oven temperature to 170 degrees F. Pour melted butter into the mason jar, close the lid and shake or stir to combine. Place the sealed jar back into the oven to infuse for 3 hours. After 3 hours, remove from the oven and cool until the mason jar is safe to touch. Pour the melted butter through a fine mesh sieve into another small mason jar, straining out the ground flower and reserving the butter.  Cool to room temp, stirring occasionally to reincorporate the liquid until solidified. Keep cool and refrigerate until ready to use.  

2. Make cookie batter: Preheat the oven to 340 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. In the bowl of a large stand mixer, cream the room temperature butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and butterfly pea flower powder. The mixture will turn blue from the butterfly pea flowers. 

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, don’t overmix. Remove from the stand mixer and using a mixing spatula, stir/fold in the white chocolate chips. If the cookie dough is very soft and sticky, put it into the fridge to chill for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to handle. 

3. Bake the cookies: Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, make approximately 20 cookie balls. Pick up one cookie dough ball in your hand, flatten slightly, and generously press a few pieces of the broken Oreo cookie chunks into the center of the cookie. Place a second cookie dough ball on top of the Oreos and gently roll in your hand to cover the Oreos and make one large cookie ball. Place on the baking sheet at least 3-4 inches apart. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the bottom edges are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
