Generally I prefer dark, rich, fudgy chocolate over red velvet, but sometimes red velvet hits the spot. These red velvet rice krispie treats are the perfect example.

The combination of red velvet cake mix, krispies and marshmallows is all kinds of yummy. So is this chocolate chip red velvet swirl bundt cake, these red velvet cookies and these baked chocolate chip red velvet donuts.

But there’s something about homemade oreo cookies that always hit the spot. And these red velvet oreo cookies are no exception. I’m pretty sure my kids were calling dibs on every last one before I was done frosting them!

I like my homemade oreo cookies to be on the larger side so I prefer using a medium cookie dough scoop. The scoop makes for perfectly uniform cookie shape and size—a must when making homemade oreos!

I found the easiest way to fill the cookies was using a small icing spatula and about 2 tablespoons of frosting. The more filling, the quicker the food coma. Amen.
