Time 1h25m

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces baking chocolate
2 cups granulated sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, softened
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons buttermilk
5 teaspoons red food coloring
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces good white chocolate, chopped into chunks
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Put the baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave. Stir and let cool.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate. Scrape the bowl and mix again. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the buttermilk, food coloring and vanilla. Scrape the bowl and mix once more.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and stir together. Add the flour mixture in 2 increments into the mixing bowl with the mixer on low. Scrape the bowl once and mix a final time until well combined. Fold in the chunked white chocolate.
  • Scoop generous tablespoons of the dough, roll in the confectioners' sugar until generously coated and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are poufy and set, about 12 minutes. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cool the cookies for 30 minutes and then recoat with confectioners' sugar if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: This will give your cookies a rich, chocolatey flavor. Look for unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. Chill for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Roll the dough in powdered sugar before baking: This will give the cookies their signature crinkled appearance.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly soft: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Red velvet crinkle cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich, chocolatey flavor and signature crinkled appearance, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these red velvet crinkle cookies a try!
