RED VELVET CRINKLE COOKIES

Thick and chewy crinkle cookies spiked with the deep taste of red velvet. they're the precise contact of red for any festive excursion!

on the subject of decadent excursion treats, nothing hits the mark pretty like purple velvet, and those purple velvet crinkle cookies are no exception.

i discovered this recipe in vacation Cookies by Elisabet der Nederlanden, and what attracted me to it turned into the usage of cocoa powder (pretty common) but also melted chocolate (extremely decadent).

i have another recipe for Chocolate Crinkle Cookies that bakes a completely think, round cookie, but that wasn’t the case with these. The melted chocolate provides density to the batter, so those red velvet cookies bake a tad flatter than their chocolate brethren and feature a slightly chewy consistency.
