Description
Soft and chewy red velvet cookies packed with crunchy Oreo pieces and creamy white chocolate chips, with a vibrant red color and an irresistible chocolatey flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- â…“ cup (65 g) granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp red gel food coloring
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp (10 g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 10–12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- ½ cup (90 g) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light, fluffy, and well combined, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add the red gel food coloring and beat until the dough reaches a vibrant, uniform red color.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula just until no dry flour streaks remain.
- Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies and white chocolate chips, being careful not to over-mix or turn the dough gray from the Oreo crumbs. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up the butter.
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the tray, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Use red gel food coloring rather than liquid coloring to avoid adding excess moisture. Fold the Oreo pieces gently to keep the dough vibrant red and prevent excessive Oreo crumbs from turning it gray.
