Time 1h25m

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces baking chocolate
2 cups granulated sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, softened
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons buttermilk
5 teaspoons red food coloring
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces good white chocolate, chopped into chunks
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Put the baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave. Stir and let cool.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate. Scrape the bowl and mix again. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the buttermilk, food coloring and vanilla. Scrape the bowl and mix once more.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and stir together. Add the flour mixture in 2 increments into the mixing bowl with the mixer on low. Scrape the bowl once and mix a final time until well combined. Fold in the chunked white chocolate.
  • Scoop generous tablespoons of the dough, roll in the confectioners' sugar until generously coated and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are poufy and set, about 12 minutes. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cool the cookies for 30 minutes and then recoat with confectioners' sugar if desired.

Tips:

  • To achieve vibrant red cookies, use high-quality red food coloring. Gel food coloring works best as it provides intense color without altering the cookie dough's consistency.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the dough firm up and results in crinkly cookies.
  • Roll the cookie dough balls in granulated sugar before baking. This creates a sparkly, sugary crust.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.

Conclusion:

Red velvet crinkle cookies are a festive and delicious treat perfect for any occasion. With their vibrant red color, crinkly texture, and sweet, tangy flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit. Follow these tips to make perfect red velvet crinkle cookies every time.
