Instructions
Creating Chewy Red Velvet Oreo Cookies with Gooey Centers is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
5. Color the Mixture: Stir in the red food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Fold in Oreo Pieces: Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookie pieces for added texture and flavor.
8. Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
9. Create Gooey Centers: Using your thumb, create a small indent in the center of each cookie ball and fill with a small dollop of cream cheese.
10. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
11. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
