The Devil In Red Velvet Cookies Food

RED VELVET CRACKLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Put the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Whisk the eggs, vegetable oil and food coloring in a large bowl; whisk in the granulated sugar and melted white chocolate until smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture with a wooden spoon until combined. Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap and pat into a rectangle; tightly wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Put the confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls; toss the balls in the confectioners' sugar to coat. Slightly flatten the balls, then dip again in the confectioners' sugar. Arrange the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and firm, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.

RED VELVET CRINKLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Put the baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave. Stir and let cool.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate. Scrape the bowl and mix again. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the buttermilk, food coloring and vanilla. Scrape the bowl and mix once more.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and stir together. Add the flour mixture in 2 increments into the mixing bowl with the mixer on low. Scrape the bowl once and mix a final time until well combined. Fold in the chunked white chocolate.
• Scoop generous tablespoons of the dough, roll in the confectioners' sugar until generously coated and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are poufy and set, about 12 minutes. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cool the cookies for 30 minutes and then recoat with confectioners' sugar if desired.

RED VELVET COOKIES

Steps:

• Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Sift the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda together into a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add the egg and continue to mix on medium until combined, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and food coloring and mix until combined and bright red.
• Reduce the speed to low and spoon in the flour mixture. Continue to mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and use a rubber spatula to ensure that all of the flour is incorporated.
• Lightly flour a clean work surface. Mound the dough onto it and press into a disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the butter to firm up.
• Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll to a thickness or 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes and place on the prepared baking sheets. Brush off excess flour with a clean pastry brush if necessary. Freeze the cutouts for 15 minutes so they retain their shape when baked.
• Bake until the cookies are dry and set, rotating the pans halfway through, 10 to 11 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring well in between each, until completely melted and smooth. (Alternatively, bring 1 inch of water in a medium saucepan to a simmer over medium-low heat. Put the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and place over the simmering water. Allow the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula until smooth.)
• Using a fork, drizzle white chocolate over the cooled cookies to create a random zigzag pattern. Allow to set. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

CAKE MIX RED VELVET COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
• In large bowl, beat all ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until well combined (batter will be very thick). Using 1-inch cookie scoop, drop dough about 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

SINFUL RED VELVET COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
• Beat in the egg.
• Beat in the vanilla extract.
• Beat in the cake mix.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls.I've chilled batter overnight and it comes out fine.
• After batter has chilled and you're ready to make the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in confectioner's sugar.
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
• Bake 12 minutes. The cookies should remain soft and gooey.
• Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar, if desired.
• To make these devilishly rich, I also top the cookies with cream cheese frosting, which is simple to make. I use Bev's Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe #55530), but double the vanilla. Or, if I'm making them for people I know have more of a savory tooth than sweet, I'll triple it to a full tablespoon.

RED VELVET COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with the rack in the middle position. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Break the chocolate squares into chunks, place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High until the chocolate melts, about 90 seconds. Stir the chocolate until smooth and set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy; pour in the egg and beat until smooth. Mix in the red food coloring and chocolate, scraping the bowl down regularly, until evenly blended, about 30 seconds. Add half of the sifted dry ingredients, stirring until well incorporated. Beat in the sour cream and mix in the remaining dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
• Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven until they spring back when pressed, about 9 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the cream cheese frosting, whip 1/4 cup butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth. Blend in the powdered sugar in half cup portions until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.

RED VELVET COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugars together with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and food colouring until you have a bright red batter. Sieve over the flour, cocoa and bicarb. Fold everything together to make a stiff evenly-coloured dough, then fold in the chocolate chips.
• Put the dough on a sheet of baking parchment, fold the parchment over the dough and mould into a sausage shape about 6cm wide. Chill until ready to bake. Will keep for a week in the fridge or one month in the freezer.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Cut the cookie dough into 1cm thick slices using a sharp knife and arrange on two large baking sheets lined with baking parchment well-spaced apart so they have room to spread in the oven. Bake in batches, keeping the unbaked cookies on the sheet in the fridge while the rest are baking.
• Bake in the middle of the oven for 13-15 mins until the cookies are crisp at the edges, but still soft in the centre. Leave to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Beat the soft cheese in a small bowl to a loose consistency, then stir in the icing sugar. Use a piping bag or spoon to drizzle the icing over the cookies. Un-iced cookies keep for five days in an airtight container, or two days iced.
