Red Velvet Cookies Recipe

Red Velvet Cookies Recipe is a holiday favorite for Christmas or Valentine’s Day. Nothing says Happy Valentine’s Day like Red Velvet batter.  I fell that you can find red velvet recipes from coffee syrups to yogurt flavors.  It is the newest fad in cooking I guess.  This year’s cookie exchange recipe was inspired from a visit to Panera Bread.  Check the other amazing red velvet donuts and red velvet cakes. 

These Red Velvet cookies were really easy to make.  I have found that most red velvet recipes are not very moist but I like the addition of white chocolate chips.  This gave them a little extra texture and flavoring.
