Crushed Oreo Red Velvet Cookies Recipe
Introduction
These Crushed Oreo Red Velvet Cookies combine the classic flavors of red velvet cake with crunchy Oreo pieces and creamy white chocolate chips. They offer a rich, indulgent treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups salted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 3/4 cups brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 5-6 oz liquid red food coloring
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 22 Oreos
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a stand mixer, cream the softened butter with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then add the eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, mixing until smooth.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Step 4: Crush 6 Oreos finely in a food processor, and break the remaining 16 Oreos into chunks. Fold both the crushed and chunked Oreos into the cookie batter along with the white chocolate chips.
- Step 5: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart. Slightly flatten each dough ball with your fingers.
- Step 6: Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help prevent spreading during baking.
- Step 7: Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes, or until they are set but still soft in the center.
- Step 8: Let the cookies cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
- For a more intense red color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid food coloring, adding it gradually to reach your desired shade.
- Try substituting the white chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
- To make the cookies extra chewy, replace half of the all-purpose flour with bread flour.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the brown sugar by 1/4 cup.
Storage
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container or bag for up to 3 months. To enjoy after freezing, let them thaw at room temperature or warm gently in the microwave for a few seconds.

FAQs
Can I use regular Oreo cookies instead of Double Stuf?
Yes, regular Oreos work perfectly in this recipe and provide the right balance of cream and cookie pieces for texture and flavor.
What if I don’t have a stand mixer?
You can use a hand mixer or mix by hand with a sturdy spoon or whisk. Make sure to cream the butter and sugars well to incorporate air for a light dough.

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups salted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 3/4 cups brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 5–6 oz liquid red food coloring
Mix-ins
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 22 Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Cream butter and sugars: Using a stand mixer, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender crumb in the cookies.
- Add wet ingredients: Incorporate the eggs, vanilla extract, and liquid red food coloring into the creamed mixture, mixing until the batter is smooth and uniform in color.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and cocoa for consistent flavor.
- Mix dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to prevent overworking the dough which can lead to tough cookies.
- Prepare Oreos and fold in: Finely crush 6 Oreos in a food processor and break the remaining 16 into chunks by hand. Fold both the crushed and chunked Oreos along with the white chocolate chips into the cookie dough evenly.
- Shape cookies: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet spaced about two inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly to help them bake evenly.
- Chill dough: Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes to chill, which helps minimize spreading and preserves the shape during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes or until they are set on the edges but still soft in the center to maintain a chewy texture.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before serving to set the texture and flavor.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is essential to prevent excessive spreading and helps achieve the perfect cookie texture.
- You can adjust the red food coloring quantity to achieve your desired shade of red.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate notes.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
