Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Gives structure to the cookies.

  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda Helps the cookies rise slightly.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Butter Adds richness to the cookies.
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar Sweetens and helps with browning.
  • 1 large Egg Binds the dough and adds moisture.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds warm flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk Keeps the dough moist.
  • 1-2 teaspoons Red food coloring Adds color to the cookies.
For Texture and Flavor
  • 1 cup Crushed sandwich cookies Provides cookies-and-cream texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Mixing
  1. Beat butter and sugar until light and slightly fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg, vanilla, buttermilk, and red food coloring until smooth.
Combining
  1. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir until just incorporated.
  2. Gently fold in the crushed sandwich cookies.
Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until edges set.
  2. Cool a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and measure flour correctly to prevent dense cookies. Chill the dough if it is warm and watch the bake time to keep centers soft.
