Description

Deliciously soft and chewy red velvet cookies loaded with mini chocolate chips.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1½ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon red gel food colouring (you may need to adjust this amount depending on the brand you use)
  • 1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Dump softened butter, cream cheese and confectioner’s sugar into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Use an electric mixer to cream together the ingredients until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add the flour, corn starch and cocoa to the bowl.
  5. Continue mixing with the electric mixer until a sticky dough forms.
  6. Add the vanilla extract and red food colouring to the bowl.
  7. Continue mixing with the electric mixer until the dough is an even red colour.
  8. Add the mini chocolate chips to the bowl.
  9. Stir the chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
  10. Use a one tablespoon cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet leaving at least 1 inch between the balls.
  11. Use a fork to flatten the cookie dough balls.
  12. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies until the tops are no longer wet and shiny, about 6-7 minutes.
