Ingredients

• 120 g unsalted butter, softened
• 80 g granulated sugar
• 70 g light brown sugar (vergeoise blonde)
• 1 egg, at room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 190 g all-purpose flour (T55)
• ¾ tsp baking soda
• ¾ tsp salt
• 1-2 tsp red food coloring
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (10 g)
• 15 Oreo cookies, chopped
• 4 Oreo cookies for decoration

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar using an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until creamy.
3. Step 3: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, then continue beating for another 2 minutes until well combined.
4. Step 4: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
5. Step 5: Stir in the chopped Oreo pieces quickly to create a uniform dough.
6. Step 6: Shape the dough into balls using your hands or an ice cream scoop, place them about 5 cm apart on the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten the dough balls if needed to ensure evenly round cookies when baked.
7. Step 7: Bake the cookies for 13 to 15 minutes until puffed and still soft in the center. Let them cool briefly on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

• For a stronger red color, increase the red food coloring slightly, but be careful not to add too much as it can affect the flavor.
• Try adding a teaspoon of instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate notes.
• Use white chocolate chips in place of Oreo pieces for a different twist.
• Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to help prevent spreading and keep the cookies thick.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To refresh the softness, warm them in a low oven for a few minutes before serving. You can also freeze the baked cookies for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular cocoa powder instead of unsweetened?

Yes, you can, but make sure it is unsweetened cocoa powder for the right flavor balance. Sweetened cocoa or hot chocolate mix will alter the taste and sweetness of the cookies.

How do I know when the cookies are done?

The cookies should be puffed up and slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will firm up as they cool, so avoid overbaking to keep them tender and chewy.

Notes

• Ensure your butter is properly softened to room temperature for smooth creaming with sugars.
• Adjust red food coloring quantity based on desired intensity of color.
• For a richer flavor, consider using Dutch-processed cocoa powder if available.
• Do not overmix dough after adding dry ingredients to keep cookies tender.
• Spacing cookies 5 cm apart allows for even spreading while baking.
• Cookies will continue to firm up as they cool – avoid overbaking for a soft center.
