Ingredients

• 200g all-purpose flour
• 120g cake flour
• 100g white sugar
• 100g brown sugar
• 200g unsalted butter, softened
• 300g chocolate (dark and milk), chopped into chunks
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix them well and set aside.
3. In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and continue mixing until everything is well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the cookie dough comes together.
6. Now, fold in the chocolate chunks into the cookie dough.
7. Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form large cookie dough balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading.
8. To give them that classic Cookie Monster look, you can add two big candy eyes to the top of each cookie. These can be found in most baking supply stores or online. If you want to go wild and add as many eyes as you want all over, just like we did, feel free to get creative and have even more fun with these playful cookies!
9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is still slightly soft. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, your Cookie Monster Chocolate Surprise Cookies are ready to enjoy. Share them with your loved ones and experience the joy of homemade cookies that even Cookie Monster would devour! Happy baking!
