How to Make Irresistibly Soft Red Velvet Crumbl-Style Cookies
Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp red food coloring
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cream cheese (softened)
- 6 oz powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream (optional for frosting)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional for frosting)
Directions:
- In a large bowl, beat together ½ cup softened unsalted butter, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, and ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate 1 large egg, 1 tsp white vinegar, 1 tbsp red food coloring, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is beautifully combined and the mixture is vibrant.
- Carefully add 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, ½ tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt. Fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, allowing it to firm up.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once dough is chilled, scoop large portions and roll them into balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are firm and slightly set. Let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting by blending 6 tbsp softened cream cheese and 6 oz powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Using a piping bag, pipe generous swirls of frosting onto the cooled cookies for that perfect finish.
- Sprinkle some red velvet crumbs on top for a festive touch that looks as good as it tastes!
