There’s a little bit of cocoa powder, flour, egg, milk,
vanilla, brown sugar, and regular sugar. Typical chocolate cookie ingredients.
However, I reduced the cocoa powder and replaced it with flour. I added a touch
of milk to bring moisture to the dough, as well as used more brown sugar than
white sugar. I also slightly increased the vanilla extract so the vanilla
flavor is as prominent as the chocolate flavor. The chocolate chips make the
cookies even chocolate-ier.
The best part is that you have complete control over how red
you want your cookies. I added about 1 Tablespoon of red food coloring to
my cookie dough. If you want less, add less – if you want more, add
more. If you’re not a fan of food coloring, leave it out. Again, you have
all the control over it!
So this recipe sounds pretty easy, right? It is! Just your
basic chocolate cookie recipe with a bit less cocoa, a bit more flour, some
vanilla, and a sprinkling of chocolate chips. A quick cookie dough chill and
boom! You’ll have red velvet cookies from scratch in only 90 minutes.
