# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
03 - Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, vanilla, and red food coloring. Mix until combined.
04 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips.
05 - Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until creamy. Fold in crushed Oreo cookies. Refrigerate filling for 10 minutes.
06 - Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough and flatten slightly. Place 1 rounded teaspoon of Oreo filling in center, then fold dough around filling to seal edges.
07 - Place stuffed dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 11 to 12 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly soft. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The surprise Oreo center makes these cookies feel like a secret handshake between you and anyone lucky enough to grab one
  • White chocolate instead of the classic cream cheese frosting lets the cocoa flavor shine while still feeling indulgent
  • These freeze beautifully, so you can pull out homemade comfort food whenever the craving strikes
02 -
  • The filling absolutely must be chilled before you try to stuff the cookies, or you'll end up with sticky fingers and leaking centers
  • Don't overbake these—the centers continue cooking as they cool, and no one wants a dry red velvet cookie
  • Gel food coloring gives you that vibrant red without adding extra liquid, which can throw off the dough's texture
03 -
  • Roll the dough balls in extra crushed Oreos before baking for an extra-crunchy exterior that looks stunning
  • If your kitchen runs warm, refrigerate the stuffed dough balls for fifteen minutes before baking to prevent spreading
