Delicious red velvet cookies filled with chocolate chips, combining two favorites for a rich, festive treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 2/3 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
- 1/4 cup (21g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon milk (preferred buttermilk)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon gel red food coloring (or alternative)
- 1 cup (180g) white or semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus a few extra for tops)
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing on high until combined, about 1 minute.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, add the milk and food coloring, and mix on low speed until everything is combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
- Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop and roll dough into balls, about 1.5 tablespoons each, and arrange on the baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake for 11–13 minutes or until edges are set.
- Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
