Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon red food coloring

Dry Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix-Ins

• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10–12 cookies, crushed with some larger chunks remaining)
• Optional: extra Oreos and white chocolate chips for topping

Directions

Step 1: Cream Your Base

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy—this should take about 2–3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the vanilla and red food coloring until evenly combined and beautifully vibrant.

Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 3: Stir in the Magic

Fold in the white chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies. Try not to overmix—just gently incorporate everything so each cookie is loaded with mix-ins.

Step 4: Chill to Set the Mood

Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. This step helps the cookies hold their shape while baking and enhances their flavor.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place them a few inches apart. Press a few extra Oreo pieces or white chocolate chips on top if you’re going for that Instagram-worthy look.

Bake for 10–12 minutes. The edges should be slightly crisp while the centers remain soft and gooey. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips & Tricks

• Want extra richness? Use dark cocoa powder instead of regular for a deeper chocolate flavor.
• Soft butter matters. Room temperature butter gives your cookies that bakery-style chew.
• Freeze for later. This dough freezes beautifully. Just scoop it into balls, freeze on a tray, and transfer to a freezer bag for future cookie emergencies.
