How to Make Galactic Chocolate Chip Cookies
1. Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Butter & Sugars
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and creamy.
3. Add the Eggs & Vanilla
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
4. Combine with the Cookie Mix
- Gradually add the cookie mix to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
5. Fold in the Chocolate Chips & Sprinkles
- Carefully mix in the chocolate chips and colorful sprinkles for a galaxy-inspired look.
- Try using star-shaped sprinkles or edible glitter to make them extra cosmic!
6. Scoop the Dough
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
7. Bake Until Golden
- Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers still look soft.
8. Cool & Enjoy!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy warm for gooey chocolate perfection, or store in an airtight container for later!
Pro Tips for the Best Galactic Cookies
✔ Use Chilled Dough – If you have time, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for even chewier cookies.
✔ Don’t Overbake – The cookies will continue to set as they cool, so take them out while they’re still soft in the center.
✔ Make Them Extra Sparkly – Add edible glitter or shimmer dust for a dazzling, space-themed effect.
✔ Mix Up the Sprinkles – Try blue, purple, and silver sprinkles to create a nebula-like effect.
✔ For Extra Chocolatey Goodness – Add white chocolate chips or chunks of dark chocolate!
Fun Variations to Try
🌈 Galaxy Swirl Cookies – Use gel food coloring (blue, purple, and black) to swirl through the dough for a nebula-inspired effect.
🍫 Dark Matter Double Chocolate – Swap out half of the cookie mix for cocoa powder and use dark chocolate chunks.
🌟 Meteorite Crunch – Mix in crushed Oreo cookies or toffee bits for extra texture.
🪐 Supernova S’mores – Add mini marshmallows and graham cracker pieces for a gooey, space-inspired twist.
What to Serve with Galactic Chocolate Chip Cookies

- Hot cocoa or coffee – A warm and cozy combo.
- Vanilla ice cream – Turn them into ice cream sandwiches for an out-of-this-world dessert.
