Delightful Red Velvet Cookies with a creamy cream cheese filling, topped with white chocolate drizzle – perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the large egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix well until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Using a cookie scoop, take some dough and flatten it. Place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the center. Fold the dough over and form into a ball, sealing the filling inside.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the cookies before serving.
