Getting ready to make Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies

In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, unsweetened natural cocoa powder, and salt.

Instruction

• Step 1:
  • Prepare dough: In a larger basin, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. In a large mixer bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until smooth. Beat in each egg one at a time until well mixed. Blend in the gel food coloring, lemon juice, and vanilla until well blended. Lower the speed to low and add the flour mixture gradually, beating just until combined. Mix in milk on low speed until barely blended. Add the white chocolate chips and fold.
• Step 2:
  • The dough should be chilled for two hours in the refrigerator. It will be soft and thick.
• Step 3:
  • Set out two baking sheets and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Step 4:
  • To roll cookies, put powdered sugar and granulated sugar in different shallow dishes. Form 1 1/2-inch(about 30 grams) balls of dough using a medium cookie scoop sprayed with nonstick spray. Roll the balls in granulated sugar to coat, then dust heavily in powdered sugar. Arrange on prepared baking sheets, two inches apart.
• Step 5:
  • Cookies should be baked for 12 minutes, turning the pans halfway through, until the edges are set and the cookies are puffed and cracked. If desired, flatten the cooked cookies somewhat by giving the baking sheets a quick tap once or twice. After 5 minutes of cooling on baking sheets, move cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
• Step 6:
  • Cookies can be kept for up to three days at room temperature in an airtight container.

Red Velvet Crinkle Cookie Storage

• After they’re made, how long will your cookies last?
• Well, they can stay fresh for up to five days if you keep them at room temperature in an airtight container.
• Store your cookies in the refrigerator for a few more days if you want to extend their shelf life.
• But these cookies are so delicious, they might not make it to the fifth day!
• To stop the powdered sugar from spreading, sandwich a sheet of wax or parchment paper between layers while keeping crinkle cookies.

Tips for making Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies

• Keep the dough at room temperature: This will allow the cookies to expand slightly, preventing spherical snowballs from forming. If you prepare the dough ahead of time, let it sit on the counter for an hour to return to room temperature. We discovered that chilling the dough caused the cookies to retain their form excessively!
• To ensure that the powdered sugar stays on the cookie and doesn’t dissolve into the liquid, roll the dough in both granulated and powdered sugar. This will give the cookies a consistent, white crinkle.
• Avoid overbaking: To prevent them from drying out, you want the center of these red velvet crinkle cookies to be just a little bit mushy!
