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 COOKIES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNKS



Red Velvet Cookies With White Chocolate Chunks image

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.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 40m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons red food coloring, preferably gel

3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons buttermilk or whole milk
4 ounces/115 grams white chocolate, coarsely chopped into chunks (3/4 cup)

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.

  • 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.

RED VELVET COOKIES



Red Velvet Cookies image

These red velvet cookie cutouts have a hint of chocolate flavor and are so simple to prepare. A drizzle of white chocolate on top adds pizzazz.

Provided by Vallery Lomas

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 1 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons red gel food coloring
1 cup white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda together into a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the egg and continue to mix on medium until combined, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and food coloring and mix until combined and bright red.
  • Reduce the speed to low and spoon in the flour mixture. Continue to mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and use a rubber spatula to ensure that all of the flour is incorporated.
  • Lightly flour a clean work surface. Mound the dough onto it and press into a disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the butter to firm up.
  • Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll to a thickness or 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes and place on the prepared baking sheets. Brush off excess flour with a clean pastry brush if necessary. Freeze the cutouts for 15 minutes so they retain their shape when baked.
  • Bake until the cookies are dry and set, rotating the pans halfway through, 10 to 11 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring well in between each, until completely melted and smooth. (Alternatively, bring 1 inch of water in a medium saucepan to a simmer over medium-low heat. Put the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and place over the simmering water. Allow the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula until smooth.)
  • Using a fork, drizzle white chocolate over the cooled cookies to create a random zigzag pattern. Allow to set. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

•1/2 cup butter
•1 box duncan hines® red velvet cake mix
•1 large egg
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIP
•2 bars (6 oz. each) white chocolate premium baking bars, broken into pieces
•2 tablespoons vegetable shortening

Wrap in wax paper; seal in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight. 3.Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease baking sheets. Unwrap dough log and set on wax paper. Using a sharp knife, cut into 48 slices about 1/4-inch thick. Place on cool baking sheets about 2 inches apart. 4.Bake, 1 sheet at a time, in center of oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. 5.Make dip by placing pieces of baking bar in small, DRY, microwave-safe bowl along with shortening. Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds.

Place on wax paper or parchment-lined sheets and refrigerate about 15 minutes or until dip is set. Store in airtight container with wax paper or parchment separating layers.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cookies bake evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking red velvet cookies is 350°F (175°C). Baking them at a higher temperature will cause them to brown too quickly and the inside may not cook through.
  • Keep an eye on the cookies: Red velvet cookies can bake quickly, so it is important to keep an eye on them to prevent them from overbaking.

Conclusion:

Red velvet cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect red velvet cookies every time.
