Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups salted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¾ cups brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 bottles red liquid food coloring (about 5–6 oz total)
Add-ins
- 22 Oreo cookies (6 crushed finely, 16 roughly broken)
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the softened butter until soft and airy. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, then beat until fully combined and creamy.
- Add Eggs, Vanilla, and Food Coloring: Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until the mixture is uniform in color and smooth.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in the stand mixer. Beat until just combined to form the red velvet dough.
- Prepare Oreo Pieces: Using a food processor, finely crush 6 of the Oreos. With the remaining 16 Oreos, break them into chunks by hand for texture.
- Add Oreos and White Chocolate Chips: Fold the crushed Oreos, Oreo chunks, and white chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula or your hands, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
- Form Cookie Dough Balls: Using a tablespoon, scoop heaping portions of dough and roll each into a ball. You should have about 20 dough balls.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the dough balls spaced about 2 inches apart. Gently press each dough ball slightly with your fingers to flatten them just a bit, but not completely.
- Chill Dough: Refrigerate the tray of cookie dough balls for 30 minutes to let the dough chill and firm up for better baking texture.
- Bake Cookies: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the chilled cookies on the parchment-lined sheet for 12 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Crushed Oreo Red Velvet Cookies!
Notes
- Using liquid red food coloring is important for achieving the vibrant red color; gel food coloring may alter the dough texture.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients to keep cookies tender.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and maintains shape during baking.
- White chocolate chips complement the Oreo flavor and add sweetness; you can substitute with dark or milk chocolate chips if preferred.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days for maximum freshness.
