These red velvet Oreo cookies are a delightful treat that combines rich cocoa flavor with a creamy filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (at room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread a generous amount of cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
- Repeat until all cookies are filled. Enjoy your delicious red velvet Oreo cookies!
Notes
Allow cookies to cool completely before adding the filling to prevent melting.
