INGREDIENTS

• • ½ teaspoon baking soda

• • ¼ teaspoon salt

• • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• • ¾ cup brown sugar

• • ¼ cup granulated sugar

• • 1 large egg

• • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• • 1 teaspoon red food coloring

• • 10 crushed Oreo cookies

• • ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)

DIRECTIONS

• • Step No.1: Preheat the oven Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

• • Step No.2: Mix dry ingredients In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside for later use.

• • Step No.3: Cream butter and sugars In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.

• • Step No.4: Combine and fold Gradually mix in dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in crushed Oreos and white chocolate chips for added texture.

• • Step No.5: Shape and bake Scoop cookie dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing evenly. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.

• • Step No.6: Cool and serve Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• • Use Room-Temperature Butter: Softened butter ensures smooth creaming and evenly textured cookie dough.

• • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can make cookies dense; mix only until ingredients are combined.

• • Chill the Dough: Refrigerating dough for 20 minutes enhances flavor and prevents cookies from spreading too much.

• • Use Quality Cocoa: Good cocoa powder brings out rich red velvet flavor and color.

• • Crush Oreos Gently: Leave some larger chunks for texture contrast in every bite.

• • Don’t Overbake: Remove cookies when centers look slightly underdone for a soft, chewy result.

• • Cool Completely: Allow cookies to cool fully before storing to maintain their perfect texture.

VARIATIONS

• • Cream Cheese Stuffed: Add a cream cheese filling between two cookies for a decadent sandwich treat.

• • Dark Chocolate Chips: Swap white chocolate chips for dark ones to intensify cocoa flavor.

• • Mini Oreos: Use mini Oreos instead of crushed ones for a cute, bite-sized twist.

• • Sprinkle Fun: Add red and white sprinkles for a festive holiday version.

• • gluten-free diet Version: Substitute with gluten-free flour for a diet-friendly treat.

• • vegan diet Option: Replace butter with vegan margarine and egg with flaxseed meal mixture.

• • Nutty Crunch: Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and flavor balance.
