Red Velvet Oreo Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
• ½ cup cream cheese frosting (for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, food coloring, and vinegar, mixing well until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
5. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly puffy.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
9. Once cooled, drizzle with cream cheese frosting.
