# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
03 - Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
04 - Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, milk, and red food coloring. Mix until well combined.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
06 - Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
07 - Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The texture is perfectly chewy with crispy edges and a soft center that tastes like a bakery treat
  • White chocolate adds creaminess that balances the cocoa's subtle richness
  • Oreo chunks create those irresistible cookies-and-cream moments throughout every bite
02 -
  • Overbaking these cookies will make them cakey instead of chewy, so trust the underbaked center look
  • Gel food coloring creates a much more vibrant red without adding excess liquid to the dough
  • Room temperature ingredients prevent the dough from separating and ensure even baking
03 -
  • Chop your Oreos into different sized chunks so every bite has varied texture and crunch
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly and look professional
