RED VELVET CRINKLE COOKIES

Easy classic red velvet crinkle cookies recipe, homemade with simple ingredients from scratch. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with a beautiful crackled powdered sugar topping.

RED VELVET CRINKLE COOKIES

Prep time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 14 minutes Chill Time: 2 hours

Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients

3/4 cup Butter Unsalted, Room temperature

1⅓ cups Granulated sugar

3 Eggs Large

1 tbsp Whole milk

2 tsp Lemon juice Or vinegar

2 tsp Vanilla extract

Red gel coloring

3 cups All-purpose flour

1/4 cup Cocoa powder

2 tsp Baking powder

1/4 tsp Baking soda

1 cup Granulated sugar,  For rolling cookie dough balls

1 cup Powdered sugar, For rolling cookie dough balls

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until mixture is light and fluffy.

Add eggs, milk, lemon juice or vinegar,and red gel coloring and mix until smooth.

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda.

Dump the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix!

Chill the dough for 2 hours or overnight.

Scoop out small portions of the dough and make small balls. Roll them in granulated sugar first and then, roll in powdered sugar. Place them on a baking tray, lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are firm around the edges. Enjoy!

When the cookies cool down completely, store in a container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

VARIATIONS FOR RED VELVET CRINKLES

Add white chocolate chips– They are unbelievably delicious! Stir in 3/4 – 1 cups white chocolate chips in the batter.

Add a cream cheese filling– Use the best cream cheese frosting ever. These make delicious cookie sandwiches.

Add mini marshmallows– For more color and texture.

Add nuts– Such as pistachios, macadamia, or walnuts for a nice crunch.

Add a drizzle on top– Such as white chocolate. Note that this will make the powdered sugar coating disappear.

Dip in white chocolate- Dipping them halfway in melted white chocolate would look so pretty. You could also sprinkle crushed candy canes on the white chocolate for an even more festive version.

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES FOR RED VELVET CRACKLE COOKIES

The powdered sugar on my crinkle cookie disappeared. How to prevent this?

 The powdered sugar has a tendency to get absorbed in the cookies after a few hours. One way to prevent this is by rolling the cookie dough balls in granulated sugar and then rolling them in powdered sugar and then baking them.

You will need to add a lot of red food coloring to give these cookies their bright color

I like to use gel coloring since they are more concentrated but you can use liquid food coloring too. You will have to add 4-5 tsp of liquid food coloring though! If you don’t use enough food coloring, your cookies will have a weird brown color.

You must chill this cookie dough!– That makes the dough firm and easier to handle. It also prevents cookies from spreading while baking and the cookies will hold their round puffy shape.

Do not replace butter with oil!– The consistency of the dough will change and so will the flavor.

Use room temperature ingredients– Because this results in the smoothest incorporation of ingredients.

Use unsalted butter– Because this prevents the cookies from becoming too salty

Do not over-mix the dough– Because it can result in flat and dense cookies.

How do I know the cookies are done? They are done when the cookies are firm around the edges.

WHY DON’T MY COOKIES HAVE CRINKLES AND CRACKS?

There can be quite a few reasons for this. If the cookies are not baked at a high enough temperature the tops will not dry out and crack. If the dough is not chilled, it may not crack either. In addition, the leavening agent (baking powder and soda) may be expired resulting in cookies that don’t rise and crinkle. Lastly, coating the dough in granulated sugar helps to draw moisture out from the cookie to make the tops crack, so don’t skip this step.

Started things off bravely with three cookie recipes- thank god for the holidays giving me an excuse to bake. Planning to mail cookies to my dad and brother and a few lucky friends. Made the dough for all three in advanced and they're chilling in the fridge now. All three recipes are originals of my grandma's.

Talked to my dad, grandpa and brother on the phone yesterday and mentioned the 'dog biscuits'. Apparently my grandma made them regularly when my dad was growing up. Said they were like biscotti but the recipe gave me a very sticky and soft dough... hopefully it becomes rollable after some time chilling. Otherwise I'm gonna have to figure out what went wrong later and improvise. I can press raisins and nuts into the dough but how do I get the jam in there...? I refuse to believe this is thanks to substituting spry with crisco.

The MJCC cookies are definitely what I grew up on eating from my grandma. Don't know what the name means or what it stands for but just seeing the dough come together in the stand mixer was enough to know what it is. Gonna be a bombass chocolate chip cookie.

And snowballs came together no problem. Excited to roll them around hot in the sugar. Dad also mentioned them during the phone call. I totally let it slip on accident that I planned on sending some to him but I don't think he even realized. He called me on the phone today to tell me his Chanukkah present for me would be paying for my top surgery in full. I was so stunned I didn't even know how to be happy and I don't think he did either.

I hope these turn out good.
