Delight in these soft and chewy Red Velvet Cookies, bursting with rich cocoa flavor and classic red velvet color. Perfectly sweetened with white chocolate chips, these cookies offer a festive twist to your dessert lineup and are easy to make in under 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 21-22 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • Red food coloring (as needed for vibrant color)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar along with red food coloring. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream them together until light and fluffy, ensuring the color is evenly distributed.
  2. Add Egg and Vanilla: Stir in the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture until well combined, creating a smooth batter.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough ball forms. Fold in the white chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the cookie dough into uniformly sized balls spaced about 2 inches apart on the sheet.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the upper two-thirds of a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  6. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely before serving to achieve optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming and better cookie texture.
  • Adjust red food coloring amount to achieve your preferred vibrant red hue.
  • Do not overbake to maintain chewy centers; cookies will firm up while cooling.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent cookies from sticking and for easy cleanup.
