The one that I’ve yet to try making is red velvet ice cream. I’ve bought it before but haven’t made it at home yet. One of these days. There’s no rush though, now that I’ve added these Red Velvet Sugar Cookies to my list of red velvet treats.
I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe for this and tweaked it slightly to give it those traditional red velvet flavors we all love. It didn’t take much, all I did was swap out some of the cake flour with cocoa powder, replace the almond extract with lemon juice (to imitate the light tang of buttermilk in red velvet) then of course I added some red color and replaced the vanilla frosting with a cream cheese frosting. These soft and decadent cookies should definitely make your holiday baking list this year. Enjoy!
