05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

07 - Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.

09 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The texture hits that perfect balance between chewy center and crisp edges
- White chocolate mellows the cocoa while Oreos bring nostalgic crunch
- They look impressive but come together in under an hour
02 -
- Overbaking is the enemy of soft cookies, pull them out when the edges are barely set
- Gel food coloring delivers that deep red color without making your dough too thin
- Chopped Oreos release moisture and can make dough sticky, keep some flour nearby for handling
03 -
- Chop your Oreos into various sizes, from fine crumbs to large chunks, for texture in every bite
- Room temperature ingredients prevent the dough from separating and ensure even baking
