# How-To:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, vanilla, and red food coloring. Mix until combined.
04 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips.
05 - Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until creamy. Fold in crushed Oreo cookies. Refrigerate filling for 10 minutes to firm up.
06 - Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough and flatten slightly. Place 1 rounded teaspoon of Oreo filling in center, then fold dough around filling, sealing edges to enclose.
07 - Place stuffed dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers look slightly soft. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
