Soft and Chewy Red Velvet Cookies That Will Steal Your Heart

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Use King Arthur flour for best results.)
  • 0.25 cups Cocoa Powder (Natural cocoa gives a lighter taste; Dutch-process yields deeper flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Always use fresh for optimal results.)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt (Balances sweetness; essential in all baked goods.)
  • 1 teaspoon Espresso Powder (Optional, enhances chocolate flavor.)
  • 0.5 cups Butter (Must be softened to room temperature.)
  • 0.75 cups Brown Sugar (Can substitute with coconut sugar for unique taste.)
  • 0.5 cups Granulated Sugar (Provides sweetness and helps cookies spread.)
  • 1 large Egg (Should be at room temperature.)
  • 2 tablespoons Milk (Can replace with a plant-based option.)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Use high-quality vanilla for best results.)
  • 1 tablespoon Red Food Coloring (Gel colors are recommended for vibrancy.)
  • 1 cups Chocolate Chips (Ghirardelli semi-sweet chips are a top choice.)
  • Nuts (Pecans or Walnuts) (Incorporate for added texture.)
  • Different Types of Chocolate Chips (Use dark, white, or milk chocolate.)

Instructions

  1. Start by sifting together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of espresso powder into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup of softened butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 tablespoon of red food coloring into the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  7. While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Once the dough is firm, roll the chilled dough into balls, about 1.5 tablespoons each, and arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes until they appear slightly underbaked in the center.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • These cookies freeze well for up to three months.
  • Experiment with different types of chocolate chips for varied flavors.
