Recently, I was lucky enough to be able to attend Coachella! It was an amazing weekend with some of my best friends and I was especially grateful to my friend Katie for letting us stay at her house in Palm Springs! She's the one on the right!
Her parents were so generous to let us stay and so Coco and I wanted to thank her by baking her something! We decided on these red velvet cookies that turned out really good! I was not always a huge fan of red velvet because it tasted like a whole lot of red dye to me, but I have made it a couple of times (which you wouldn't know because I haven't been updating...) and I have gotten used to it! My mom also bought me gel colorings instead of liquid so there definitely isn't as much dye in these than normal!
They originally were for Katie's parents but they headed home to Minnesota before we could send them, so Katie got to enjoy them instead!
Thanks for an amazing weekend Katie!!
Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies: from thecurvycarrot
1/2 cup butter- room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 + 1/2 all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder (and if more gets in... so be it)
red food coloring (I used the gel, around 4 toothpicks)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
Cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. At this time, add in the food coloring. Then, mix in the egg and vanilla making sure to mix well.
At low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture. If you feel the need, add in more food coloring. But, be careful if you are using liquid coloring to make sure it doesn't get too liquidy.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Roll into balls around two inches apart on lined baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden.
(Don't eat too many)
