How to Make Red Velvet Cake Cookies
To make these red velvet cake cookies you will need to gather a few simple ingredients. You will need unsalted sweet cream butter and cream cheese that has been softened.
You will also need granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, salt, red gel food coloring, cocoa powder, and Ghirardelli milk chocolate melting wafers. You will also need a disposable piping bag, Valentine’s sprinkles, and a 2 inch Mickey Mouse head-shaped cookie cutter.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees for your red velvet cookies. Then prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. Use a stand mixer to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and cream cheese together until they are combined and light and fluffy. Add your eggs and red gel food coloring and beat again.
Using the low speed of your mixer, gradually add in your dry ingredients until a dough forms. Sprinkle flour onto your cutting board and put your dough ball on it.
Roll the dough until it is ¼ inch thick and cut out your Mickey head shaped cookies. Put the cookies on the prepared cookie sheets and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the edges are set.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating. Put your Ghirardelli milk chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30 seconds increments, being careful not to burn the chocolate.
Once the chocolate is melted, spoon it into your piping bag.
Cut the tip on the piping bag, and drizzle the chocolate over the cookies. Decorate the cookies with your Valentine’s day sprinkles and allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
If you are in a hurry, you can set the cookies in the refrigerator for a few minutes to harden the chocolate.
