I am excited to share my Red Velvet Oreo Cookies recipe with you! These cookies beautifully combine the rich taste of red velvet with the crunch of Oreo cookies. They’re perfect for any occasion, from bake sales to cozy afternoons at home.
One of my fondest memories of baking these cookies was when my sister Sarah came over. We spent hours in the kitchen, giggling as we dropped the dough on the baking sheet, and sneaking bites of the cookie dough.

Healthy Twists on a Classic
You can make these cookies a bit healthier by substituting some of the butter with unsweetened applesauce. This swap keeps them moist but cuts down on fat. You can also use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for extra nutrients.
Serving Suggestions From My Table
These cookies shine on their own but would be delightful served with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also make for perfect gifts when packed in a cute box or jar.
Getting It Just Right
For the best flavor and texture, make sure your butter is softened but not melted. This helps to create that creamy texture when you mix it with sugars. Also, feel free to adjust the amount of red food coloring based on how vibrant you want the cookies to be.
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for about 5 to 7 days, but I doubt they will last that long in your house!
Enjoy Every Moment
Every cookie has a story, and I hope these Red Velvet Oreo Cookies create sweet memories for you and your loved ones. Baking together is a simple joy, and every bite brings a smile. Enjoy each moment and the delicious treats you create!
A Few Common Questions
How can I make Red Velvet Oreo Cookies gluten-free?
You can easily make these cookies gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check that all other ingredients, especially baking powder and chocolate chips, are gluten-free as well.
Can I use other types of cookies instead of Oreos?
Absolutely! You can experiment with any cookie you like. Chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, or even crushed graham crackers can be delicious twists to this recipe.
What’s the best way to freeze Red Velvet Oreo Cookies?
To freeze these cookies, let them cool completely, then stack them in a single layer in an airtight container or a freezer bag. Layer parchment paper between the cookies to keep them from sticking together. They can be frozen for up to three months.
