Tips and Variations

Always slightly underbake – this lets the cookies finish baking on the cookie pan as they cool, and results in a delicious, fudgy, chewy cookie.
Round the cookies immediately after baking. You can use a cup, bowl, mason jar lid, or round cookie cutter. Place it over the baked cookie and swirl it around the cookie to create perfectly rounded edges.
Gluten-Free – use your favorite cup-for-cup/ measure-for-measure gluten-free flour blend, as well as the gluten-free oreos.
Add white chocolate – for a fun twist, add 1/2 a cup of white chocolate chips to the dough, too.
Dye-Free – use your favorite natural food dye, or just omit entirely. They’ll still have the red velvet flavor, just not the red appearance.

How to Store Cookies

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3-4 days. You can also store in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.

You can also scoop the cookie dough and then freeze into cookie dough balls, so you’ve got frozen cookie dough ready to bake whenever you’re ready for a fresh cookie! Thaw as you preheat the oven, and you should be good (possibly may need to add another 1-2 minutes if your oven preheats quickly).
