Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Recipe by: Chef V

"I love making these cookies around Christmas and Valentine's day. They look so pretty and taste so rich of chocolate."

Directions

1Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
2Beat butter with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes; beat in brown sugar and white sugar until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat egg, milk, and vanilla extract into butter mixture; beat in food coloring until uniformly colored.
3Stir flour mixture into butter mixture gradually with electric mixer on low speed until combined; stir in 1 cup chocolate chips. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; place in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to overnight.
4Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
5Roll dough into 2-inch balls; place on prepared baking sheets and flatten slightly.
6Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle cookies with a few additional chocolate chips; allow to cool completely.

Footnotes

Cook's Note:
Chilling the dough is highly recommended; it really does make a difference in the texture of this cookie. You can substitute white chocolate for the dark chocolate chips, for a nice contrast in color. If chilled overnight, remove dough from refrigerator about 30 minutes before working with it.
