Red Velvet Cake Oreo Cookies – Irresistible Chewy Treat in 6 Easy Steps

Question 1

Can I use any flavor of Oreos in red velvet cake cookies?

Accepted Answer

Yes! While classic chocolate Oreos are the go-to, you can easily use Golden, mint, birthday cake, or seasonal flavors. Each variation adds a unique twist to your red velvet Oreo dessert. Just make sure to keep the ratio of crushed cookies the same so the dough texture stays balanced.

Question 2

What’s the best way to keep red velvet cookies soft?

Accepted Answer

The key is to slightly underbake them and let them finish setting on the pan. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature with parchment between layers. Avoid refrigerating unless you’ve added cream cheese filling.

Question 3

Are red velvet Oreo cookies better with cream cheese filling?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your taste. Adding a cheesecake filling creates a gooey, rich center that mimics the classic red velvet and cream cheese pairing. It's a great option if you want more indulgence, but even without it, these cookies are soft, flavorful, and satisfying.

Question 4

Can I make these cookies gluten-free or dairy-free?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Use a gluten-free cake mix and certified gluten-free sandwich cookies. For dairy-free versions, skip the white chocolate chips or use a plant-based brand, and stick with vegetable oil instead of butter.

Question 5

Should I chill the dough before baking?

Accepted Answer

Chilling isn’t required, but it's helpful if your dough is too sticky or you want thicker cookies. A short 15–30 minute chill firms up the dough and prevents spreading, especially if your kitchen is warm.

Question 6

How do I prevent cookies from spreading too much?

Accepted Answer

Use parchment paper or silicone mats, scoop evenly, and avoid placing dough on a hot baking sheet. Chilling the dough slightly and not overmixing are both great ways to keep your cookies thick and chewy.
