# Chef's Tips:

01 -
  • The texture is insane with soft chewy red velvet cookie and crunchy Oreo bits in every single bite
  • These cookies look absolutely stunning on any dessert platter without requiring fancy decorating skills
02 -
  • Gel food coloring is absolutely worth the extra money because liquid coloring will throw off your dough consistency
  • These cookies continue baking on the hot sheet so pulling them out when centers look slightly underdone is the secret to perfectly chewy results
03 -
  • Chill your dough for 30 minutes before baking if you want thicker cookies with less spreading
  • Press a few extra Oreo chunks on top of each dough ball before baking for that gorgeous bakery style look
