Time 40m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate, broken into pieces
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
⅔ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
⅓ cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon red food coloring
¾ cup sour cream
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with the rack in the middle position. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Break the chocolate squares into chunks, place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High until the chocolate melts, about 90 seconds. Stir the chocolate until smooth and set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy; pour in the egg and beat until smooth. Mix in the red food coloring and chocolate, scraping the bowl down regularly, until evenly blended, about 30 seconds. Add half of the sifted dry ingredients, stirring until well incorporated. Beat in the sour cream and mix in the remaining dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven until they spring back when pressed, about 9 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the cream cheese frosting, whip 1/4 cup butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth. Blend in the powdered sugar in half cup portions until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.

RED VELVET CRINKLE COOKIES



Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies image

Cream cheese in the dough keeps these cookies from being too sweet and the raspberry liqueur - which we found essential in tests - balanced the saltiness of the batter. This recipe makes a big batch; use all the suggested finishes for a red, white and green cookie collection.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 47m

Yield Makes: 90 2-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord
One 18.25-ounce package red velvet cake mix
Confectioners' sugar, sanding sugar, small white nonpareils or finely chopped pistachios, for decorating

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; mix in the raspberry liqueur.
  • Sift the red velvet cake mix into the bowl and stir until completely blended and the mixture forms a dough. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using your hands, roll 1 teaspoon of dough at a time into a ball, and then roll each ball in the desired decoration. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. These will be baked in three batches, so it is best to keep the dough in the refrigerator while one batch is baking, and roll them right before they go into the oven.
  • Bake until the cookies spread and the tops begin to crackle, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, and then remove to a rack to cool completely.

1 cup brown sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
¾ cup light sour cream
4 tablespoons red food coloring
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
4 tablespoons dark cocoa powder (such as Hershey's® Special Dark®)

Red Velvet Shortbread Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

Transform store-bought cake mix into these merry and bright red velvet Christmas cookies! Decorate the cookies with white chocolate designs and sprinkles for an extra-festive touch!

Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 box red velvet cake mix
3 tablespoons water
5 oz vanilla candy melts
white sanding sugar
red sprinkle
Red and green sprinkle
white sprinkle
Assorted 4-inch cookie cutter

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream the butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the flour and mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the cake mix and water and continue mixing until smooth, about 1 minute more. Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and flatten into a disc. Wrap tightly, then refrigerate until slightly firmed, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough in half. Working with one portion at a time (wrap the other in the plastic and refrigerate until ready to use), roll out on a lightly floured surface to ½ inch thick. Cut out shapes using the cookie cutters. Use an offset spatula to gently lift the cookies and transfer to the prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Gather and re-roll the scraps until all of the dough is used.
  • Bake the cookies until they have puffed and the edges begin to crisp, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • When ready to decorate, place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted completely.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Dip the cookies in the candy melts, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Alternatively, transfer the candy melts to a small piping bag and cut the tip, then drizzle over the cookies. Garnish with the red, green, and white sprinkles. Let sit until the candy hardens, about 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
