Turn your oven on to 350°F. Cover your baking tray with parchment or a silicone mat. Combine your flour, cornflour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Whip the butter along with both kinds of sugar for a couple of minutes until you get a light and creamy texture. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat briefly. Slowly mix the dry ingredients in on low speed.

Blend in the food coloring for a vibrant blue hue. Fold in half of the cookie pieces and chocolate chips by hand, keeping the rest aside as toppings.
