The Step By Step Process Of Making Homemade Red Velvet Oreo Cookies.

Instructions: Red Velvet Oreo Cookies

Follow these step-by-step instructions for the best results.

Making Red Velvet Oreo Cookies

Certainly! Here’s a more readable, structured version of your instructions with shorter paragraphs for better clarity:

Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

Mix Dry Ingredients – In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This step ensures even distribution of ingredients for a smooth batter. Set aside.

Cream Butter & Sugars – In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This step helps create a soft, chewy texture.

Add Wet Ingredients – Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until fully combined. The red food coloring gives the cookies their signature red velvet hue.

Incorporate Dry Ingredients & Buttermilk – Gradually add the flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating between the two. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which can make the cookies dense.

Fold in Crushed Oreos – Using a spatula, gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies. This step adds texture and enhances the cookies’ flavor with crunchy Oreo bits.

Scoop & Bake – Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the lined baking sheet. Leave space between each cookie, as they will spread while baking. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set.

Cool Completely – Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Cooling fully ensures they are firm enough to hold the filling.

Making the Cream Cheese Filling for Red Velvet Oreo Cookies

Beat Cream Cheese & Butter – In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Add Sweetness – Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy.

Assembling the Red Velvet Oreo Cookies

Pair the Cookies – Match cookies by size.
Fill Them Up – Spread or pipe cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another.
Let It Set – Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes before serving for the best texture.
