Print Recipe

Delicious soft and chewy cookies with the rich flavors of red velvet cake, topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon instant milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons red liquid-gel food coloring
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • 1 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, milk powder, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the softened butter, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until you have a smooth consistency.
  4. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract. Then stir in the white vinegar and food coloring until well combined.
  5. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Use a large cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed and the edges are golden brown.
  8. After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. To prepare the frosting, cream together the cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and gradually mix in the powdered sugar until the frosting is creamy and well combined.
  10. Once the cookies are completely cool, pipe or spread the frosting on top.

Notes

For even baking, ensure your cookie dough is evenly portioned. These cookies freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
