About the Recipe
HOW TO MAKE RED VELVET COOKIES
Tip One: Use red GEL food coloring for the most vibrant color! Gel colorings allow you to use a small amount but achieve a bold saturation. My favorite brand is Americolor.
Tip Two: Take the time to coat the balls of cookie dough in powdered sugar twice for a really beautiful thick and snowy coating. Just like beignets or your favorite donuts!
Tip Three: Bake until barely cooked through. You want to be able to see some moisture in the fissures of the crinkles so the cookies remain nice and soft. They will continue cooking from the residual heat outside of the oven.
