NYC Red Velvet Cookies!

Step 1

Add your butter and sugars to a bowl and beat till creamy - I use my stand mixer with the beater attachment!

Step 2

Add in your egg, vanilla and red food colouring and beat again.

Step 3

Add in the plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt and beat till a cookie dough is formed!

Step 4

Add in your white chocolate chips and beat till they're distributed well!

Step 5

Weigh your cookies out into eight cookie dough balls - they're about 115-120g each! If you don't want them as big, feel free to make them smaller.

Step 6

Once they're rolled into balls, put your cookie dough in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or in the fridge for an hour or so!

Step 7

Whilst the cookie dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 180C Fan, or 200C regular! If your oven runs hot, go for 160C-170c.

Step 8

Take your cookies out of the freezer/fridge and put onto a lined baking tray. I put four cookies per tray!

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the oven for 12-14 minutes. I don't personally flatten the cookies, as they flatten enough during baking - however, if you like flat cookies, flatten them a bit before baking. If you've made half size, they'll take about 9 minutes to bake.

Step 10

Once baked, leave them to cool on the tray for at least 30 minutes, as they will continue to bake whilst cooling! They make look a little raw when they come out - but trust me.

Step 11

ENJOY!
