Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 4 tsp. cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. white vinegar
- 2 tsp. red gel food coloring, or 2 tsp. red liquid food coloring
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 6 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
- In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until combined.
- Beat in egg, vanilla, white vinegar, and red food coloring until creamy.
- Slowly add flour mixture and beat until just combined.
- Cover bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for 1-3 hours or until dough is firm. This is a very important step to prevent cookies from spreading and becoming too thin.
- Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350F and place parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
- Scoop dough into 1 1/2 Tbsp. balls. Place them on prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake one sheet at a time (keeping remaining dough chilled) until cookies appear set on the edges, but slightly under-baked in the center, about 11-12 minutes.
- Remove cookies from the oven and let cool completely.
- To prepare frosting, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Once red velvet cookies have completely cooled, frost with cream cheese frosting. Enjoy!
