Red Velvet… Yum! Red Velvet cakes, cupcakes, pancakes, whoopie pies, or scones. Whatever form it is in, I love it. So when I saw a recipe for Red Velvet Chocolate Chip cookies, I immediately starting going through my pantry looking for the needed ingredients.
My instincts were right. These cookies are mouth-watering, yummy, amazing-ness that everyone deserves to take part in.
I’ve featured this recipe on my personal blog before, but Jacin and I thought these would make adorable handmade-with-love party favors for LLD readers! For weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, whenever! Another positive, these are easy to make.
How cute would these look on a dessert table, or in favor bags or boxes? Pretty perfect I think!
Recipe adapted from How Sweet Treats
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon red food coloring (I used a little less)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I added a little extra ;) )
Preheat oven to 375.
Cream butter and sugars together until fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla and combine until smooth.
Beat in red food coloring.
Stir in cocoa, flour, baking soda and salt until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of dough and set on baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. (Mine only needed 10, and they were perfect!)

I forgot to mention - amazing photos!
Simply amazing! Red velvet is easily one of the best dessert flavors known to man and these cookies bear the red velvet name proudly.
How many cookies does this recipe yield?
Just kidding! I saw it
These were delicious but mine did not turn out as red as yours? I used 1 tsp of red food coloring. Do I need to increase?
I would think you would need a LOT more than 1 tsp. of red food coloring to have your cookies as red as those pictured. When I make Red Velvet Cake I use 2 ounces (bottles)…so….I would say, definitely add more red coloring for a deeper red.
it worked well for camille but never hurts to add more! :)
