  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 10 Oreo cookies, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined. This creates a smooth base for your cookie dough.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until the mixture is smooth and uniformly colored, giving the dough its signature red velvet hue.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the dry components.
  5. Mix dry and wet components: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough which could lead to tough cookies.
  6. Fold in mix-ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped Oreo cookies, dispersing them evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly underbaked for a chewy texture.
  9. Cool cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, helping them to firm up and retain their shape.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough before baking improves texture and enhances flavor.
  • For a bakery-style finish, top cookies with extra white chocolate chips or Oreo pieces before baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft for several days.
