Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups (313 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (21 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (165 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon red gel food coloring
- 1/4 cup Oreo cookie crumbs (about 3 Oreo cookies)
- 6 crushed Oreo cookie pieces (6 Oreo cookies blended into bite-sized pieces, plus more for topping)
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk the cooled melted butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until well combined. Mix in the red gel food coloring until the color is evenly distributed.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula until mostly incorporated.
- Fold in the Oreo cookie crumbs, crushed Oreo pieces, and semisweet chocolate chips. Mix just until no dry flour remains.
- Scoop the dough into evenly sized portions and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
- Press additional Oreo pieces and chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough portions, if desired.
- Bake in a preheated oven using the original recipe’s specified temperature and baking time, until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to rest briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- Use cooled melted butter to help maintain the proper dough consistency.
- Gel food coloring gives the cookies a vibrant red color without adding excess liquid.
- Avoid overbaking; the centers will continue to set as the cookies cool.
