Tis the season for red velvet! I take that back, any season is the season for red velvet, but Valentine’s Day and Christmas time are ideal for beautifully red baked goods. Every year I get excited as the holidays get closer to start making red velvet everything.
Red Velvet Treats
Last year I made Red Velvet Pancakes and Peppermint Red Velvet Kiss Cookies. I’ve also posted my copycat version of Sprinkles Red Velvet Cupcakes and another red velvet recipe I posted is these Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies.
So, are you starting to see I’m slightly obsessed with red velvet? Not only is it a romantic food (Hello, Valentine’s Day dessert!) but its flavor is completely divine. I love its light undertone of rich cocoa that perfectly compliments those sweet hints of vanilla.
Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
Red Velvet is perfect, we’ve covered that. But these cookies? Adding that pure sweetness of powdered sugar along the perfect crust of a moist, baked cookie really compliments the flavors of red velvet. The visual beauty of the crinkly texture also makes them a lovely centerpiece of a Valentine’s Day dessert table or friendly holiday gift plate. My oh my these cookies are trouble! I ate them for lunch with a cup of hot cocoa. That’s not something that happens often for me. I usually show more self-control and save the desserts I’ve made for after dinner. Not today. Make these and you’ll see why. Enjoy!
