These Best Crushed Oreo Red Velvet Cookies are proof that you don’t need a complicated ingredient list to make something unforgettable. With just cake mix, eggs, oil, and crushed Oreos, you get fudgy, crackly-topped cookies with a perfect crunch in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup crushed Oreos (about 810 cookies)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese frosting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Place 8-10 Oreos in a Ziploc bag and seal tightly. Use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pan to crush them into small pieces (a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks). Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs and 1/3 cup vegetable oil until well combined and slightly frothy (about 30 seconds).
  4. Pour the entire box of red velvet cake mix into the bowl with the eggs and oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the crushed Oreos gently until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out rounded tablespoons of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each). Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges look set and the tops have a cracked, slightly matte appearance. The centers may look slightly underdone.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and chewy. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to prevent breaking. If cookies spread too much, chill the dough balls for 15 minutes before baking. For best results, use a name-brand cake mix. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
