Baking Cookies is one of my favorite things to bake. Everyone loves a good cookie, and these Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies are really amazing.

My husband loves anything Red Velvet, and he requests these all the time. He isn’t one to complain much when I am baking, but he definitely raved about these!

How to make Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies:

These cookies are pretty easy to make, and most of the ingredients should already be in your pantry! Mix your dry and wet ingredients separately, and then combine and mix well.

Add in your chocolate chips and then roll into 1 inch balls or use a cookie scoop. Press in some additional chocolate chips on the top before baking, and then bake and enjoy!

Ingredient Notes:

• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – You can’t have Red Velvet without chocolate!
• All-Purpose Flour – this flour works best for baking.
• Salt
• Baking Soda – helps keep the cookies light and fluffy.
• Unsalted Butter – room temperature.
• Granulated Sugar
• Brown Sugar – packed.
• Egg – at room temperature.
• Vanilla Extract
• Milk – I used 2% milk for this recipe.
• Red Food Coloring – I used Watkins Food Coloring for this recipe.
• Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips – keep out a handful to place on top for formed cookie dough balls.

Directions:

Step One: Get started by combining your cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking soda. I usually use a fork and whisk it together well then once combined set aside.

Step Two: Use a stand mixer or with a hand mixer to beat your softened butter with the paddle attachment.

Beat until your butter is nice and creamy then add sugar and mix together well. Make sure to pause and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step Three: Next beat your egg, vanilla, and milk in with your butter and sugar.

Once it is well-mixed add in your food color.

Mix until combined and the color is even throughout.

Step Four: Now add in your dry ingredients to your red wet ingredients and beat slowly.

Lastly, just fold in your chocolate chips.

Step Five: Cover your mixing bowl and place it in the fridge for at least one hour to chill. Chilling time for these cookies is very important so don’t skip this step.

Step Six: When cookies are just about done chilling preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Step Seven: Spoon out cookie dough about 1 tbsp. in size, or 1 inch. Then form into a ball. I place a few chocolate chips on top of the dough ball.

Step Eight: Place dough balls on a cookie sheet prepared with nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes.

Step Nine: Allow cooling for 5 minutes on the baking sheet then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Freezing Cookie Directions:

To freeze these cookies, follow through step five.

Still allow your dough the chilling time so it is easy to roll. This dough can be very sticky before chilling.

Once chilled roll the dough out into balls and then place them in a freezer bag. Lay them flat in the freezer so they don’t stick together.

When you are ready to bake, allow them to thaw to room temperature then bake according to the directions.

Storing the cookies:

Using an air tight container, these cookies can be stored for about a week to 10 days. You could also use a zip lock baggie!

You could also freeze these cookies. One they are fully cooled place them in a freezer safe container, and they can store in the freezer for close to 2 months.
