incredibly fudgy and chewy...
easy and delicious
Red Velvet Crinkle
cookies
huge hit for family and friends any time of the year
more or less makes 3 dozen
Ingredients
1 2/3 cups
all purpose flour
1/3 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking
powder
1/4 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1 stick
unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tbsp
buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
extract
1 tbsp red
food coloring
Icing sugar
Procedure
Preheat an
oven to 375°F or 190C
Line your
baking tray with baking paper
or if it's a non-stick baking tray just spray it with baking spray
Put the icing sugar into a bowl and set aside
Sift
together all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda,
cocoa powder and salt,
set aside
Cream
together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Add the
eggs one at a time
Then beat in the buttermilk, vanilla and red food coloring
Turn off your
mixer and add the flour mixture
Beat on low speed just until blended
Cover your
mixing bowl with plastic
and refrigerate for an hour or until firm
With clean
hands, form dough into balls and roll in icing sugar
I find it more easy if you can use an ice cream scooper scooping the dough
or you can use your 1 tbsp measuring spoon so you can get an exact size
and they will bake evenly at the same time
Line dough balls into your baking tray an inch or two apart from each other
Bake until
cookies are puffed and cracked on top
- about 10 minutes-
but this will depend on your oven
so I recommend that you should keep an eye on the first batch
you can use a skewer to test if the cookies are already cooked
when the skewer comes out clean when you poke them
cookies will be
soft
so leave them on the baking tray for a while
(but not for too long as the baking tray is still hot and the cookies will continue to cook
over cooking will affect the fudgyness, chewyness of the cookies)
before transfering them to
the cooling rack
Note: If you don't have buttermilk
you can make it easily by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice
into 1 cup of milk and let it sit a for 5 minutes. Allowing the milk to curdle.
Here's my daughter helping me make this delicious cookies. A good thing to do to bond with your kids. But be sure you have something to give to them while making these as the dough itself is so irresistable otherwise you won't have anything to bake at all hahaha
