What You’ll Need for Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies To whip up these delicious cookies, gather the following simple ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g) 1/2 cup cocoa powder (50g) 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (113g) 1 cup granulated sugar (200g) 1 large egg 1 tablespoon red food coloring 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Powdered sugar for rolling How to Make Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies Follow these straightforward steps to create your own batch of Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until it’s light and fluffy. Add in the egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well blended. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix! Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated. Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
