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.

How to make Red Velvet Chocolate Chip cookie bars

To make red velvet chocolate chip cookie bars, bake the cookie dough in a 9 by 9 in cake pan and cut into bars when the cookie is baked.

Can I freeze the cookie dough

The red velvet cookie dough can be made ahead.

1. Make the dough, form dough balls

1. Freeze balls on a parchment paper lined baking sheet till completely frozen.

1. Transfer frozen dough balls to a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.

When you are ready to bake them, bake straight from the freezer for 20 mins.

Alternatively, thaw dough balls overnight in the refrigerator and bake as you would bake an initial batch that wasn't frozen.

How to store these cookies

These cookies will keep for up to a week in a cookie jar. If it stays that long.
