Mini Crumbl Blue Monster Cookie Copycat Recipe

The beloved Muppet characters, Cookie Monster, bounded onto our TV screens in 1969 on Sesame street gobbling cookies everywhere he went. This furry, blue monster represented the cookie lover in all of us, and after over 50 years, Cookie Monster is still loved by all. In honor of Cookie Monster, let me introduce you to the Crumbl Blue Monster Cookie.

We know that the Crumbl Blue Monster Cookie is a tribute to this adorable monster. Whether it was because Crumbl didn’t have the rights to use the Cookie Monster trademark (the most probable reason!) or because there would be too many “cookies” in Crumbl Cookie Monster Cookies, they named this amazing cookie Blue Monster Cookie. Regardless of the reason, this is seriously the tastiest and most adorable tribute to Cookie Monster there is.

These delicious cookies have a mini chocolate chip, brown sugar cookie base rolled in crushed Chips Ahoy cookies and topped with an adorable blue buttercream frosting with more cookie crumbles. This was another sleeper hit with me in the Crumbl lineup. I didn’t think they would be as good as they are but OH MY GAWD – they are SO good! Dare I say one of my top 10 Crumbl flavors?

MINI CRUMBL COOKIES ARE THE ANSWER

We are back to MINI cookies with this recipe. Yes, Crumbl is known for their BIG cookies but we don’t play that way. They are so big, in fact, they list each cookie as 3-4 servings in their stores. I don’t know about you, but I hate to share my cookies.

This Blue Monster Cookie recipe makes 24 cookies because I recommend making them MUCH smaller than Crumbl would. Instead of a “shareable cookie”, this is a bite-sized cookie that you won’t feel so guilty eating. Three bites and it’s gone. Have two or three, no one is judging! I would assume Crumbl uses at least 1/4-1/3 of a cup of cookie dough for each cookie and I suggest less than 1 tablespoon of dough in order to make these a more manageable size.

CHILLED IS ALSO THE ANSWER

Wait! There wasn’t a question to whether these should be chilled or not?

Well, trust us, chilled is the answer. There is just something about FROSTED Crumbl copycat recipes that make them better eaten chilled.

I have also found that all the Crumbl recipes stay fresh longer if you keep them in the refrigerator. No matter what air-tight container you keep the cookies in, they don’t stay fresh as long out on the counter as they do if you put them in the fridge. So, the moral of the story is STORE THESE COOKIES IN THE FRIDGE. Sure, you can eat them cold or let them come to room temperature but you’ll thank me when you still have fresh cookies 3-4 days later.

HOW TO MAKE CRUMBL BLUE MONSTER COOKIES

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Use parchment paper or a silpat mat to line a baking sheet.

3. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.

4. Add in flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Mix until all combined.

5. Hand stir in the mini chocolate chips.

6. Scoop out 1 TBSP dough for smaller cookies (or 1/4 cup dough for BIG cookies) and roll into balls. Roll dough balls in crushed Chips Ahoy cookies. Place dough balls on prepared pan (12 cookies to a pan if smaller cookies) and slightly flatten with your hand to about 3/4 – 1 inch thick.

BLUE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

1. In stand mixer, cream butter for about 1 minute until smooth.

2. Add in the vanilla extract, powdered sugar and heavy cream and mix on high for about 3 minutes until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add more heavy cream a teaspoon at a time to get the consistency you are looking for. If frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
