Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring (gel preferred)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
15 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
1. Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and red food coloring. Mix until combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until no dry spots remain.
5. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped Oreos.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Scoop dough balls with a cookie scoop and space them 2 inches apart on the sheet.
8. Press additional chips and Oreo bits on top for a decorative finish.
9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers are slightly soft.
10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use gel food coloring for a deep, vibrant red without altering the dough’s texture.
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps keep the cookies thick and chewy.
For an extra twist, try using flavored Oreos like mint or golden vanilla.
