Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Crushed Oreo Red Velvet Cookies:

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 1012 Oreos)
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Cream the Butter and Sugar:

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. Add the Red Food Coloring: Stir in the red food coloring until the dough reaches the desired hue of red.

Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:

  1. Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough is just combined.
  2. Fold in the Oreos and White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape and Bake the Cookies:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Form the Cookie Dough: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  3. Flatten the Dough: Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with your hand or the back of a spoon to help them spread evenly while baking.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.
  5. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
