Ingredients

red velvet cookies

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4-5 drops red food coloring (more or less depending on how strong your food coloring is)
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

cream cheese frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese at room temp
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temp
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, and red food coloring and mix again.
  2. Add flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined. The dough should be soft, but not too sticky.
  3. If you are making Crumbl sized cookies, scoop out 1/2 cup of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Flatten the dough slightly with your hand. Repeat and add up to 6 dough balls on a normal cookie sheet.
  4. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
  5. While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting. Combine the cream cheese and butter in a bowl and mix for 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and mix for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add frosting to a piping bag.
  6. Once cookies are completely cooled, pipe on frosting and enjoy!!
