RED VELVET COOKIES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNKS
As easy to make as your favorite chocolate chip recipe, these cookies pack the fun and flavor of red velvet cake into a simple, and much faster, cookie. Super sweet and tender with a slightly fudgy center, they contain creamy white chocolate chunks that nod to the snowy frosting on the cake version. For particularly pristine cookies, reserve some of the white chocolate chunks to arrange on top of the cookie, as they tend to get tinted pink when mixed into the batter.

Steps:
- Move racks to the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated, about 1 minute more. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon red food coloring (and up to 1 1/2 tablespoons for really red cookies) and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to combine. Add to the mixer and mix on low speed until fully incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the buttermilk (or milk) and mix on low speed to combine, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add about 3/4 of the white chocolate and mix on low speed to combine. Scoop 2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between each piece. Use your palm to flatten the balls slightly.
- Press the remaining white chocolate chunks into the surface of each piece of dough. Bake for 12 minutes, until the cookies appear set on the outside and puffed in the center, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Cool completely on the baking sheet.

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!

Tips:
- Softened Butter: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help create a smooth and fluffy batter.
- Creaming Butter and Sugar: Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and airier cookie.
- Adding Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cookie.
- Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Baking the Cookies: Bake the cookies at the recommended temperature until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking can result in dry cookies.
