Red Velvet Oreo Cookie Dough Bars

These bars are a combination of edible cookie dough and cake-like Oreo red velvet bars. We we’re playing around with ingredients and knew we wanted something red velvet and something Oreo so these thicc beauties were born!

INGREDIENTS:

Red velvet layer:

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 3 eggs
• 2 sticks salted butter softened
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 4 tsp vanilla
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 6 tablespoons red gel food coloring (or emulsion)
• 12-16 Oreos

Oreo cookie dough layer:

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 sticks of butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 6 crushed Oreos (without the creme center)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Red velvet layer:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized bowl, whisk flour, salt and cocoa powder and set to the side.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy and creamy using a hand mixer.  Add the eggs one at a time, then add in the vanilla and food coloring (we used red velvet emulsion).
3. Add half of the flour and mix well then add the other half. Add the milk last and mix well.
4. In a generously greased 8×8 pan, add half of the mixture and spread across the bottom of the pan.
5. Layer the Oreos on top then add the remaining batter on top of the Oreos.
6. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
7. Allow to cool completely before adding the cookie dough layer.

Oreo cookie dough layer:

1. Bake your flour on a baking sheet on 350 for 5 minutes (this makes the flour edible).
2. Beat together the butter, sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until fluffy and creamy.
3. Add the baked flour, salt, and milk to the butter/sugar mixture and beat well until fully combined.
4. It will look like little crumbles but keep beating until it is mostly together. Use a wooden spoon to finish bringing it together.
5. Fold in the crushed Oreos.
6. Add the cookie dough mixture to the top of the cooled brownies and spread evenly across the top of the pan.
7. Place in the fridge until the cookie dough is slightly hardened 30-45 mins (this is to ensure clean square cuts).
