Time 40m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate, broken into pieces
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
⅔ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
⅓ cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon red food coloring
¾ cup sour cream
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with the rack in the middle position. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Break the chocolate squares into chunks, place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High until the chocolate melts, about 90 seconds. Stir the chocolate until smooth and set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy; pour in the egg and beat until smooth. Mix in the red food coloring and chocolate, scraping the bowl down regularly, until evenly blended, about 30 seconds. Add half of the sifted dry ingredients, stirring until well incorporated. Beat in the sour cream and mix in the remaining dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven until they spring back when pressed, about 9 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the cream cheese frosting, whip 1/4 cup butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth. Blend in the powdered sugar in half cup portions until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.

1 (18 ounce) box red velvet cake mix (any brand will do)
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup stick margarine (softened) or 1/4 cup butter (softened)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh butter, sugar, eggs, and cocoa powder will produce the best-tasting cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help the cookies be chewy and tender.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are set around the edges but still soft in the center: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the frosted cookies in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These frosted red velvet cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated with your favorite sprinkles or other toppings. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, you will love this recipe.
