Ingredients

½ cup butter unsalted, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar packed
1 large egg room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
2 teaspoons buttermilk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or distilled vinegar
2 teaspoons red food coloring*
1.75 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies about 6 cookies
6 chocolate sandwich cookies broken into large pieces to press on top of cookies

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set side.
To a stand mixer bowl, or using a large bowl with a hand mixer, add the softened butter and sugars and cream together on medium high speed for 1-2 minutes, until smoothly combined.
Add remaining wet ingredients and beat on high for another 1-2 minutes, until creamy and fluffy.
Mix in the dry ingredients just until combined, then fold in the crushed cookie pieces.
Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to scoop onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the larger cookie pieces on top of the cookie dough balls. Bake for 9-11 minutes (they should look ever so slightly underbaked, which is perfect because they'll finish baking as they cool on the pan).
Immediately after pulling from the oven, use a large circular cookie cutter or cup to swirl around the cookie to round their edges. Let finish cooling on the pan. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*Note that the amount of food coloring you need will vary based on the type you use! I recommend gel for a more concentrated color that won't add too much liquid. Natural food colorings typically end up a little more pinkish, too, fyi!
