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.
When I doubled the recipe for the second batch I feel like they did not flatten out into these perfect circles. Most of you will not have to double the recipe but I needed 5 dozen cookies.
Thought they needed a little powdered sugar on top too. It was too boring on the platter.
Add a little vase of cranberries and camellias and we have a cookie party platter I used in Christmas. For Valentine’s Day you can box them up with a little ribbon and you will make anyone’s day.
