red velvet

cookies

the story

 

Nothing tops an incredible dinner quite like a dessert that people can't stop talking about. We love red velvet cake, but don't always want to go to the trouble of making an entire cake, especially for a smaller group of people. These cookies will help give you your red velvet fix, in a more compact version. These cookie are everything that you would want in a red velvet dessert. The highlight of this tasty treat has to be the cream cheese frosting. It is creamy, smooth and sweet; and it serves as an excellent complement to the rich, soft cookie. Happy baking!

tHe process

Cookie Instructions: 

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. *Note* Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need two. This recipe makes about a dozen cookies. 

​

In an electric stand mixer, cream together butter and granulated sugar until combined. 

​

Add in egg and vanilla. Continue to mix. 

​

Next, add in flour, salt, baking soda, cocoa powder and red food coloring and continue mixing until all are combined. 

​

Roll cookie dough into balls (roughly 1-1.5 tablespoons worth of dough) and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 17 minutes. 

​

Let cool before adding the cream cheese frosting. 

​

Cream Cheese Frosting Instructions: 

​

Beat butter and cream cheese in electric stand mixer until combined. 

​

Next, add in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until completely mixed.

 

To create our signature drizzle, make sure the cookies have cooled from the oven before the frosting is added.  

​

Place the frosting mixture into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds to a minute. The goal is to loosen up its density as much as possible for easy spreading. 

 

Once warm, stuff the frosting into a ziploc sandwich bag and seal it. Cut a very small corner of the bag and apply pressure. as you drizzle the icing over each cookie.
