Which Oreo cookie works best in these oreo red velvet cookies?

I prefer to use the original Oreo cookie, but you can really choose anyone you prefer. I don't suggest you use any that are coated or flavored.

Can I use a different cookie if I don\'t have any Oreos?

Yes, any cookie cut into chunks will work, but I think Oreos are one of the best options as they have both a chocolate cookie and a creme filling that complement the flavors of the red velvet cookie well.

Can I use drops of red food coloring instead of gel?

If you want an intense color, it is better to use the gel as opposed to drops.

Why are my cookies flat?

Flat cookies can be attributed to various reasons. The best way to prevent flat cookies in this red velvet cookie recipe is to use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent spreading. If you are baking multiple batches, make sure the cookie sheet has cooled in between each batch. (A hot cookie sheet will cause the butter to begin melting before the cookies even go into the oven and can cause the cookie to spread too much.) I also recommend avoiding dark aluminum sheet pans because they can cause overly dark/burned bottoms.
