Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
A Pinterest-friendly recipe for soft and fudgy red velvet cookies coated in confectioners' sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (127g) plain flour
- ⅛ cup (11g) cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1½ tsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp red gel colouring
- ¼ cup (45g) white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (32g) icing sugar
Instructions
- Start by weighing and measuring all of your ingredients.
- Melt your butter and add brown sugar and white sugar to it and stir till combined.
- Add egg, milk, and vanilla and whisk.
- Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the red food colouring and whisk to incorporate.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed.
- Chill the dough until firm enough to scoop – about an hour.
- Warm your oven to 180C. On a baking mat or parchment lined tray, scoop out 1½ tbsp of dough and roll into balls. You should get about 9 cookies.
- Taking them one at a time, roll them into the icing sugar. Once all the cookies are done, re-roll them in icing sugar once again.
- Bake for 13-14 mins. The cookies will still look a bit wet inside, but this is what gives them that extra fudginess once they cool. Leave for 5 mins on the mat before tucking in; and don’t stop at just one!
