Homemade Red Velvet Oreos – to soft and chew red velvet cookies sandwich a layer of rich creamy frosting. Who could resist?

Today I’m so excited to be sharing a recipe with you from Deborah Harroun’s new book, Red Velvet Lover’s Cookbook! I’m not one to buy a lot of cookbooks, but this is one you need to own! I’m a huge red velvet fan so you don’t know how excited I am to own this book. It is loaded with more than 50 irresistible red velvet desserts that will have your mouth watering with every page.

Red velvet isn’t just for cake anymore and Deborah has proved that with this amazing cookbook. I love how inventive she is in this book, sharing things like Red Velvet Cannoli, Red Velvet Funnel Cake and Red Velvet Biscuits with Chocolate Sauce. You will also find the classics you love with a red velvet twist, like cheesecake, gooey butter bars and pancakes.

These Red Velvet “Oreo” cookies are one of the first recipes I knew I had to try. I love homemade Oreos so I could only imagine how good they would be with a red velvet spin on them. These cookies are everything I’d hoped them to be and more! My family couldn’t get enough of them, my husband and kids kept telling me how delicious they were. Our little family of four had no problem finishing all of them off.

The cookies themselves are so moist and chewy and the filling is just what a homemade Oreo filling should be, fluffy, sweet and melt-in-your mouth delicious. Trust me you want to try this recipe and you want to add this book to your cookbook collection, it won’t disappoint!
