It’s that time again. Time for me to make some Valentine’s Day treats that are exploding with red, white and pink! I can’t help it, I love making v-day desserts. It may not be my favorite holiday (Jorge and I will of course be celebrating in our non-traditional way), but I sure do love all the girly colors and red velvet treats that pop up this time of year.
These cookies are so perfectly soft and chewy…and full of red velvet flavor. If you want a more vibrant red color, substitute a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder for flour. The red will be lighter and more vibrant, however you will loose some of the cocoa flavoring.
I personally love them just the way they are — full flavored, with lots of pretty sprinkles to make them festive. ๐ย

Wow! Just made these and they are out of this world! 10 minutes is right on. Nice chewy interior with a ever so slightly crisp exterior. Looked at other recipes and called for Bisquick( ugh!) and cake mix which I never use. Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe.
