Tips & Tricks (5)

Perfect Color Intensity 🎨
Use gel food coloring instead of liquid for more vibrant red color and less moisture impact on the cookie texture.
Cream Cheese Frosting Hack 🧀
Chill the cream cheese frosting for 30 minutes before piping to achieve cleaner, more stable decorations on the cookies.
Cake Mix Transformation 🍪
Add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the cake mix for a deeper chocolate undertone in your red velvet cookies.
Uniform Cookie Sizing 📏
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to ensure consistent cookie sizes for even baking and professional presentation.
Moisture Magic 💧
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting to prevent melting and ensure the cream cheese frosting sets perfectly.
