How to make red velvet cookies
-
Mix the lemon milk mixture
Add 10ml of lemon juice, 20g of fresh milk, 5g of vanilla, and 10ml of red food coloring into a bowl, then stir well.
-
Whip the mixture
Add 75g of unsalted butter and 25g of cream cheese into a bowl and use a mixer at low speed. Sift 160g of sugar into the bowl, then continue mixing at low speed until the mixture is smooth.
Note: Unsalted butter and cream cheese should be softened at room temperature.Next, gradually add 2 eggs into the bowl and mix at low speed until the mixture is smooth and light yellow in color. Finally, while the mixer is on low speed, slowly pour the lemon milk mixture in and mix well.
-
Mix the flour
In a new bowl, add 240g of flour, 12g of cocoa powder, 10g of coffee powder, 30g of baking powder, and 5g of baking soda, then mix well and divide the flour into 2 portions. Sift each portion of flour into the butter mixture and mix at low speed until just combined.
-
Place the mixed dough into a sealed bag and freeze for 2 – 3 hours until the dough hardens. Then, divide the dough into equal parts, each about 20g, roll them into balls and coat evenly with flour.
-
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius, both top and bottom heat for 10 minutes.
Bake the cookies at 175 degrees Celsius for about 12 – 13 minutes.

Final product
The red velvet cookies have an attractive red color, are crispy, and have a sweet taste from sugar and a distinctive flavor of cocoa mixed with a bit of richness from butter and eggs, creating a delicious and irresistible flavor.
Successful tips:
- The dough needs to be frozen long enough, at least 3 hours. Otherwise, when shaping the dough, it will melt quickly and during baking, it will easily spread out, not looking good.
- When rolling the dough in sugar, you need to work quickly so that the dough does not become soft and melt. Also, only roll in sugar just before putting it in the oven because if left too long, the sugar will soak into the dough.
How to store the cake: Let the cake cool completely, then place it in an airtight container and store it in a dry, cool place, using it within 2 – 3 weeks.
