Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies
Red velvet cookies are my absolute favorite to make. Everyone I know loves them and with good reason. Â Kids think they are magical and that it must takes hours to make. Â Truth is, some adults think the red color is magic as well, as if red velvet is an actual ingredient. Â It gives me a good laugh and then I politely tell them that the taste is a little cocoa powder and red food coloring is added to color it. Â Truth is, most cookie recipes can be made into a red velvet recipe, but I really enjoy the soft and chewy kind with lots of chocolate chips!
Cookies are a classic dessert no matter what age or occasion.  I think we can all agree that chocolate chip cookies are the most beloved cookie of all time and for a good reason.  I love to take my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and adapt it into another cookie recipe.  Doing this allows me to still indulge in my favorite cookie without having to worry about messing something up terribly.  Most traditional cookie recipes start with the same basic ingredients and technique such as sugar and butter and then vary a little bit.
Red velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies are a must during the holiday season for me. Â I like to get the family together and bake a batch for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and other special ocassions. Â If you love chocolate chip cookies, you’ll love red velvet cookies recipe. Â Like I said above, red velvet products have a little cocoa powder added to the dough for taste and of course, the red food coloring. Â I should note that beet powder can be used to color the cookie dough as well. Â If you’re looking for a cookie recipe the whole family will love, this is the recipe for you!
