Ingredients
For the Cookies:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon red food coloring
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, mixing until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Stir in the white chocolate chips if using.
- Shape and Bake: Roll the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the tops. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Frosting: While the cookies cool, prepare the frosting. Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, beating until creamy and well-combined.
- Frost the Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled, pipe or spread the cream cheese frosting on top of each cookie. Optional: Sprinkle with extra white chocolate chips or red velvet crumbs for decoration.
Notes
Chilling Dough: For firmer cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
Storage: Store unfrosted cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Frosted cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze cookies for up to 3 months.
