# What You Need:

→ 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

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together 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.
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.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The texture contrast is addictive, with chewy cookie meeting crisp Oreo chunks in every bite
  • They look impressive enough for holidays but come together in under 40 minutes
  • The red velvet flavor is subtle enough that even chocolate skeptics usually come back for seconds
02 -
  • Overbaking is the enemy, so pull them out even when they look slightly underdone in the center
  • Gel food coloring prevents your dough from becoming too sticky, which liquid coloring can cause
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps prevent excessive spreading if your kitchen runs warm
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients prevent the dough from separating and ensure even baking
  • Press a few extra Oreo chunks onto the tops before baking for that bakery-style finish
