Red Velvet Oreo Cookies (Printable)

Soft red velvet cookies with white chocolate chips and chopped Oreos for a perfect cookies-and-cream combination.

# What's Needed:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 1 tsp baking soda
04 - 1/2 tsp salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
07 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
08 - 1 large egg
09 - 1 egg yolk
10 - 2 tsp vanilla extract
11 - 2 tbsp milk
12 - 1 tbsp red food coloring, gel preferred

→ Mix-Ins

13 - 1 cup white chocolate chips
14 - 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
03 - Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
04 - Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, milk, and red food coloring. Mix until well combined.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
06 - Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
07 - Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • The texture is somehow both chewy like a bakery cookie and slightly crisp at the edges, with Oreo pieces that stay crunchy even after baking
  • Red velvet flavor hits that perfect cocoa vanilla sweet spot without being too rich or overwhelming
02 -
  • Overbaking is the enemy here, pull them out when the edges are firm but centers still look soft
  • Gel food coloring delivers that deep red color without thinning your dough like liquid coloring can
03 -
  • Chop your Oreos into various sizes, from small crumbs to larger chunks, so every bite has different textures
  • Underbake by one minute if you prefer them extra soft and gooey in the center
