Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies
These red velvet chocolate chip cookies combine rich cocoa flavors with vibrant red hues and pockets of melty chocolate, making them an irresistible choice for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring (or to taste)
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather all of your ingredients and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on high speed for 2 minutes, until fluffy. Add the brown sugar and white sugar, and mix until smooth and creamy—about 1 minute.
- Beat the egg, milk, and vanilla extract into the butter mixture. Add the red food coloring a little at a time & adjust until you’re happy with the color.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in 1 cup of dark chocolate chips. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll dough into 2-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each ball slightly.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Add extra chocolate chips on top while the cookies are warm for a bakery-style finish.
