Whether you're looking for an extra special recipe to impress your Valentine, or just a great Red Velvet Recipe option for a pop of colour on your tea tray - this bake is for you! Developed exclusively by our in-house expert baker, Sophie Carey, these easy Red Velvet Cookies are a must for you to try at home!
Method
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and leave to bubble until it is a dark golden brown colour, remove from the heat and leave to cool for 15 minutes
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and both sugars until well combined
- Add the eggs and beat again
- Add the vanilla paste, cocoa powder, salt, bicarbonate of soda, red food colour, and baking powder, then the flour. Beat again until well combined
- Add the chocolate and combine until evenly dispersed
- Portion into cookie dough balls (I like to use a mechanical ice cream scoop to make things easier and to get even portions) onto a lined baking sheet and place into the fridge or freezer until completely cooled
- You can freeze the cookie dough portions like this and bake them off when you need them. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 17-20 minutes.
