    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!

    Ingredients:

    • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Salt
    • Baking Soda
    • Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
    • Granulated Sugar
    • Brown Sugar (packed)
    • Egg (room temperature)
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Milk
    • Red Food Coloring
    • Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (keep out a handful to place on top for formed cookie dough balls)

    ingredients for red velvet chocolate chip cookies

    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.

    • Tip: It is good to sift your dry ingredients to make sure there are no clumps.

    mixing and sifting dry ingredients

    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.

    • Tip: Make sure to use room temperature and softened but not melted butter.

    blending and smoothing your butter and sugar

    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.

    • Tip: Be sure to not over mix. You do not want to add to much air to the recipe.

    adding in the remaining wet ingredients and mixing

    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.

    • Tip: Make sure to not overcook. Baking for 10 minutes and then your cookies will continue to cook while they are cooking on the baking sheet.

    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 they are easy to roll. This dough can be very sticky before chilling.

    Once chilled rolled into doughs and then place in a freezer bag. Lay them flat in the freezer so they don't stick together.

    When you are ready to bake I 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.
