Red Velvet Cookies

November 28, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 2 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Thanksgiving season is over and now it’s Christmas time.  I love Christmas season because of all of the holiday flavors.  My favorite it peppermint.  Yum!  I can’t get enough of it.  Today’s recipe is not peppermint, but it is definitely a cookie that you can add to your Christmas cookie platter.  It is a festive red cookie with little pops of white that looks like little snowflakes.  It is my Red Velvet Cookies.

Red Velvet Cookies

These Red Velvet Cookies are chewy, a little crunchy and have the perfect red velvet flavor.  You get a nice hint of chocolate and the white chocolate chips is absolutely the best chip to use in these cookies.  If you love red velvet you will just love these cookies.

Red Velvet Cookies


When I did a search for these cookies I found most people use cake mix.  I didn’t want to do that, for one, I didn’t have any, two, it’s so much better when you make it homemade.  Take the extra time to make them from scratch.  It’s a breeze to make.

Red Velvet Cookies

The recipe is pretty basic.  It’s almost the same recipe as classic chocolate chips with a few added ingredients that just about every household has, cornstarch and vinegar.  I found this recipe from The Sweet Life.  She adapted the recipe, and I adapted her recipe.  Funny how everyone can change-up a recipe and make it their own.  I think my adaption made them perfect.

Red Velvet Cookies

What I do like about this recipe is that you don’t have to chill the dough.  I hate when I want to make cookies now and then the recipe says to chill the dough for a few hours or overnight.  Sheesh, when I want cookies, I want cookies now.  You know what I am talking about.

Red Velvet Cookies

To make these cookies really fly you could add cream cheese frosting.  I debated carefully about that.  The only thing is, when you make cream cheese frosting the cookies need to be refrigerated.  I’m not a fan of refrigerated cookies.  it just seems to dry out the cookie.  However, frozen cookies, heck yeah!  I love a frozen cookie and these cookies will freeze great.  Make them now and bring them out on Christmas.  I just let them come to room temperature.

Red Velvet Cookies

What is your favorite holiday cookie?  I have so many.  I just love cookies.  They are one of my favorite things to make and eat.  A little indulgence, but not a sweet overload.

Red Velvet Cookies

When you take a bite of the Red Velvet cookies, you get morsel of white chocolate with that nice little crunch and a soft center.  When you bake the cookies, and when you add a few white chocolate chips to the cookie dough, turn the chips upside down, so the top of the chocolate doesn’t burn.  Otherwise you may get a light brown color to the tip of the white chocolate chips.

Serves: 66 cookies
Ingredients
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1½ tsp. cornstarch
  • ¾ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1½ tsp. white vinegar
  • 1½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1½ cups white chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl; add flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined; set a side.
  4. In a large bowl; beat together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes. Add egg and egg yolk, beat until combined. Add vinegar, vanilla extract and food coloring; beat until combined.
  5. Carefully add flour mixture and beat just until combined. Fold in 1 cup white chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop 1 teaspoon of batter and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Add about 4 or 5 additional white chocolate chips to the dough. Be careful not to push to hard. (Note: if you place chips upside down, the tops won't turn brown)
  7. Bake in oven for 8 - 9 minutes, just until lightly golden. Take cookies out of oven and let them rest for 2 minutes on baking sheet, then place on cooling rack to cool completely.

Red Velvet Cookies

I cannot wait to start the holiday baking.  So many things I want to do, but not enough time.  I wish I could take the month of December off at work.

Have a great week!

Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

Happy Tuesday! I know it’s been awhile since I h Happy Tuesday! I know it’s been awhile since I have shared anything with you. I have been busy cleaning up the yard, and my day job has been so busy. Hope you are doing well.

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
