Cake Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1 tablespoon red food coloring

• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Room Temperature Realness!

Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting. Room temperature ingredients mix more evenly, resulting in a smoother batter and better texture for your cookies.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add Wet Ingredients

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and red food colouring until well combined. The mixture should be a vibrant red hue.

5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Don't Overmix the Batter!

When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies. A few streaks of flour are okay; they'll blend in as you fold in the chocolate chips.

6. Fold in White Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Shape Cookies

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Watch the Baking Time Closely

Red Velvet Cookies can go from perfectly soft and chewy to dry and crumbly in a matter of minutes. Keep a close eye on them in the oven and remove them as soon as the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked. They'll continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.

9. Cool

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Enjoy!

Once cooled, indulge in the irresistible decadence of these Red Velvet Cookies! Serve them with a glass of milk or alongside a scoop of your favourite ice cream for an extra special treat.

Now, wasn't that a piece of cake? Pun intended! Whip up a batch of these Red Velvet Cookies and watch as they disappear before your eyes. Happy baking, and until next time, keep spreading sweetness with CakeRush!
