They couldn’t have enough of these red velvet cookies I had to relocate the cookies to save them from themselves. Then my son requested a red velvet cake with cream cheese glaze to take to school for their Christmas party.

That’s how good red velvet has been to us ?. You need to give this a try for yourself or your loved one. It’s worth’s it.

How to make Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies.

• You will need some melted butter, a large egg and an egg yolk. You also need some brown or white sugar, some Cocoa powder and some red food coloring.

• The extra egg yolk helps with the structure and texture.

• Refrigerating the dough also helps with structure so I highly recommend it.

• Melted butter helps with the chewy and dense structure if you don’t melt the butter. It tends to incorporate more air when you beat it the sugar which gives Cake-y cookie. Which is equally delicious but not what we are aiming for.

• Baking for about 15 minutes instead 18 mins will also help with a soft chewy cookie. In other words I tend to undertake them to get a softer chewy center. If you prefer a firmer cookie. Bake for up to 18 mins.
