Red Velvet Cookies

I love a festive treat and these red velvet cookies are perfect for Valentine's Day! They are chewy, not too sweet and are topped with creamy white chocolate chips.

ingredients

1 1/2 cups + 2 tablespoon flour (I use GF)
2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon vanilla
1-1 1/12 teaspoons red food coloring
1 cup white chocolate chips (I prefer Ghiradelli), divided 3/4 cup and 1/4 cup

directions

{1}

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

{2}

In an electric mixer, cream butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.

{3}

To the electric mixer, add the egg yolks, vanilla and food coloring.

{4}

Add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

{5}

Fold in the 3/4 cup white chocolate chips with a wooden spoon or spatula.

{6}

Using a 1-inch cookie scooper, place dough balls on non-stick baking sheets 1 inch apart.

{7}

Bake for 9-11 minutes, and remove from oven. Using the 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips, gently add a couple to the top of each cookie. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.

Enjoy warm! Store the remaining cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze to keep them fresh for a month!
