What flavor is Red Velvet?

The base of red velvet is cocoa powder, but vinegar and/or buttermilk are usually added, which gives it that characteristic tangy flavor. The bit of zip helps balance the softness! Red velvet cakes and cookies usually come with a cream cheese frosting which adds to the overall zesty flavor. So tasty!

Ingredients for Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies

No need to buy premade cookies when you have all the ingredients to make them from scratch! I love that these Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies use such basic ingredients. You’ll love the soft, chewy cookies they create! If you are looking for measurements, they can be found in the recipe card below.

All purpose flour: All purpose flour has a low protein content that will keep your cookies light and fluffy.
Cocoa powder: Chocolate is the base flavor of these delicious cookies. I recommend using high quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. Dutch Cocoa will leave you with a fuzzier result.
Cornstarch: Adding cornstarch leaves you with a more tender and delicious cookie texture!
Baking soda: Indispensable for light and soft biscuits!
Salt: Added to enhance flavor.
Butter: I like to use unsalted butter for its richness. Make sure it’s at room temperature before mixing so your batter will be nice and smooth!
Vegetable fat: The fat content of the shortening makes your Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies extremely moist and tender!
Granulated sugar: Used to sweeten your cookies!
Egg: Necessary to bind all the ingredients together!
Egg yolk: An extra yolk is added to make the batter smooth and creamy.
White vinegar: The special ingredient for red velvet! By adding white vinegar, you add a hint of tangy flavor to your cookies. Believe me, it’s delicious!
Vanilla extract: Next, we have vanilla! Vanilla is super important for adding rich flavor to your cookies. I always recommend pure vanilla extract for best results.
red food coloring: For this magnificent red color!
White chocolate chips: The creaminess of the white chocolate is astonishing alongside a tangy and chocolatey red velvet.

Tips for Making the Best Red Velvet Cookies

Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies are incredibly delicious! It’s impossible to eat just one. Here are some of my favorite tips for making bakery-worthy cookies every time!

Use ingredients at room temperature: This is one of the most important tips! Make sure your wet ingredients like eggs, butter, milk, etc. are at room temperature before adding them to your cookie dough. It takes a little extra preparation, but it will make your batter smooth and nice! Smooth dough = tasty biscuits without lumps.
Add more cocoa: If you prefer your cookies to be more chocolaty, you can add a few extra teaspoons of cocoa to your batter. Note: The added chocolate will make your cookies more of a dark crimson color and less red.
Chocolate chips: Personally, I love the creaminess of white chocolate, but for a more indulgent version of these cookies, add milk or dark chocolate chips instead!
Undercooking: If you want your cookies to be soft and chewy, the key is to take them out of the oven while the centers still look slightly undercooked. They will continue to bake on the hot cookie sheet! It’s about 8 minutes for me, but keep an eye on your cookies as different ovens have different baking times.

Storing leftover cookies

If by chance your red velvet cookies are not gobbled up in a few minutes, here is how to store them! My family loves having them around the house for snacking.

At room temperature: Transfer cookies to an airtight container and store for 4-5 days.
In the freezer: You can freeze your dough for 1 to 2 months. Simply form balls and place them in a freezer bag. Leave to thaw in the fridge overnight before baking.
