Red Velvet Cookies

Instructions

1
First, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on high until creamy, until no clumps of butter remain. This usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
3
Then, add in eggs, vanilla and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
4
Next, add in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine.
5
Add in red food coloring. Continue stirring until dough is uniformly red. If needed, add more food coloring.
6
Fold in white chocolate chips and regular chocolate chips.
7
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto parchment lined pan. Space at least 2 inches apart.
8
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until middles of cookies are barely set.
9
Finally, remove from oven. Cool on pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Room Temperature Butter Magic 🧈
    Use cold butter cut into small cubes, but let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before creaming with sugars to achieve the perfect fluffy texture without overmixing.
  • Cocoa-to-Coloring Balance ⚖️
    The cocoa powder can mute the red color, so add your food coloring in two stages: half before mixing, then adjust the remaining half after combining dry ingredients to achieve vibrant red velvet.
  • Acidic Activation Secret 🍋
    The lemon juice reacts with baking soda to activate it and enhance the signature red velvet flavor—add it to your wet ingredients just before combining with dry ingredients to maximize this chemical reaction.
  • White Chocolate Melting Technique 🍫
    Fold white chocolate chips in gently after the batter is fully mixed rather than adding them with other ingredients, so they stay intact and create those gooey pockets of melted chocolate.
  • The Crucial 2-Minute Rest ⏱️
    Let your baked cookies cool on the baking sheet for exactly 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack—this allows them to set enough to stay thick and chewy while the centers remain slightly underbaked for gooeyness.
