These Cookie Monster Cake Mix Cookies are an easy cookie recipe that kids will absolutely love. They’re a simple twist on classic cake mix cookies, but with a cute design that looks just like the iconic Cookie Monster!
I love making these for kids’ birthday parties, school events, or just an after-school snack for my kids. It is made with a basic cake mix, so the dough comes together quickly, and kids can even help with adding the cookie pieces. A platter of these is sure to be a hit at any get together where kids are involved!
Add these to your kids’ school snack along with Classic Favorite Corndog Mini Muffins or Buttery Ritz Ham Crackers.
How to Make Cookie Monster Cake Mix Cookies
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. To a large bowl, add the cake mix, eggs, oil, and food coloring. Stir well until a dough has formed.
3. Now you will need to set aside 32 of each: Oreo cookie pieces, Chips Ahoy pieces, and white chocolate chips. Add whatever of those are left into the dough, and stir to combine.
4. Using a cookie scoop, drop scoops of dough onto the cookie sheet, 3 inches apart.
5. Gently press one piece of each (Oreo, Chips Ahoy, and white chocolate chip) into the top of each cookie.
6. Transfer the baking sheet to the middle rack of the oven, and bake for 9-10 minutes, or until cookies are done.
7. Remove from the oven, and set the cookie sheet on a cooling rack for 2 minutes, then transfer cookies to the cooling rack.
Serve and Enjoy!

Important Recipe Notes
- Use a cookie scoop to make evenly sized cookies for consistent baking.
- Don’t overmix the dough after adding the cookie pieces to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- Press the Oreo, Chips Ahoy, and white chocolate pieces gently into the dough—don’t push too hard or the cookies may spread unevenly.
- Bake on the middle rack for even cooking and to prevent the bottoms from browning too much.
- Let cookies cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to prevent breaking.
- Blue food coloring can be adjusted depending on how bright you want your Cookie Monster cookies.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
