Red Velvet Cookies
Velvet-soft texture and light cocoa undertones from the popular cake flavor with the gooey goodness and crisp edges.
1 and 2/3 cups (210g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
1/4 cup (21g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 Tablespoon milk (I recommend buttermilk)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon gel red food coloring (or alternative)*
1 cup (180g) white or semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus a few extra for tops)
1. Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (and up to 3 days). I recommend just 1 to 2 hours, otherwise the cookies won’t spread much. If chilling for longer than 2 hours, allow dough to sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before rolling and baking because the dough will be quite hard.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
3. Scoop and roll cookie dough, about 1.5 Tablespoons (30–35g) of dough each. (A medium cookie scoop is helpful here.) Arrange on the baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake for 11–13 minutes or until the edges appear set.

Red velvet cookies are not just visually appealing; they are a delicious twist on a classic dessert, combining the flavors of chocolate and vanilla with a soft, chewy texture. What sets these cookies apart is the signature deep red color, achieved with food coloring, making them perfect for festive occasions or celebrations. When making these cookies, it's important to chill the dough. This helps in achieving the right thickness and spread during baking. A tip from seasoned bakers is to ensure that your ingredients, especially the butter and eggs, are at room temperature; this facilitates better mixing and a smoother dough. In terms of customization, feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips—white, dark, or even chunks of your favorite chocolate bar can elevate the taste. Adding nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking can also enhance the flavor profile of your red velvet cookies. To make the baking experience even more enjoyable, consider turning it into a fun activity with friends or family.
