The red velvet cup cake is quite possibly the most trendy item in a bakery these days. So if red velvet cup cakes are so good, why not red velvet cookies?
I came across the idea for these cookies on the web. After trying several recipes with minimal success, I decided to try it on my own. I'm quite happy with results.
They are a perfect cookie to make over the holidays this year.
If you do make them, please leave a comment and let me know how they turned out.
Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 Cup Shortening
1 Cup White Sugar
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar (packed)
2 Eggs
2 Tsp Vanilla
1 Tbsp Red Food Colouring
1/4 Cup Cocoa
2 Cups Flour
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Salt
1 Package White Chocolate Chips
- Cream together shortening and sugars until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla. Add the food colouring and mix well. Next add the cocoa.
- In a separate bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients and then slowly add to the mixture. Add about 4/5 of the bag of white chocolate chips.
- Form into equal sized balls and place on a cookie sheet.
- Using the left over white chocolate chips, place about 2-3 chips into the top of the ball on each cookie, flat side up.
Add the eggs... I'm guessing 2 eggs? I'm off to buy some food colouring! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, 2 eggs. I fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out.
ReplyDeleteMade these with my 3 year old. She loved mixing in the food coloring and adding the last of the chips. All in all they turned out great! Great recipe Adam!
