Ingredients: For the Red Velvet Cookies:. - 1 cup all-purpose flour. - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. - 1/4 teaspoon salt. - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened. - 1/2 cup granulated sugar. - 1 egg. - 1 teaspoon red food coloring. - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. - 1/4 cup buttermilk. For the Peppermint Cream Filling:. - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. - 2 cups powdered sugar. - 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract. - 1-2 tablespoons milk. For Assembly:. - Crushed candy canes or peppermint candies.
Instructions: Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up. Put parchment paper on the bottom of a baking sheet. For the cookies, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk. In a different large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until they are fluffy and light. In a separate bowl, mix the egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Combine well. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, mixing in the buttermilk every so often. Mix everything together. Place cookie dough spoonfuls on the baking sheet that has been prepared, leaving about 2 inches between each one. Put it in an oven that is already hot and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set. For a few minutes, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the peppermint cream filling, get the butter soft and beat it until it is smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar slowly while beating the mixture until it is well mixed. Put peppermint extract in the mix. Adding milk one tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is reached if the filling is too thick. Spread a lot of peppermint cream filling on the flat side of a cooled cookie before putting them together. Put another cookie on top to make a sandwich. For decoration, roll the edges of the cookies that are stacked on top of each other in crushed candy canes or peppermint candies. Do it again with the rest of the cookies and filling. For about 30 minutes, put the cookies in the fridge after putting them together to let the filling set. Serve these tasty Peppermint Red Velvet Oreos and enjoy them!
