Ciao everyone!,
My fiancé, Dominick, loves red velvet cake, which I understand, it’s chocolaty and usually accompanied by cream, cheese icing. It’s really just chocolate cake with red dye, but still super yummy! I thought instead of cake, I’d try red velvet cookies, with the icing of course. I made these for our anniversary last year, before we were engaged along with another cookie that I’ll post about soon as well. These are a very gooey, cakey cookie, so tasty! I probably could have made the icing look prettier by using a pastry bag and icing tip, but I guess I was in a hurry. Taste is more important than looks anyway..right? Ha..oh well.
Cookies:
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Some red food dye gel (Add as much as need for desired shade. Or you can use regular liquid dye but I prefer gel)
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup (7-8 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
Cream Cheese Icing:
