Delightful Red Velvet Halloween Cookies with a soft, chewy texture, perfect for parties or cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Halloween sprinkles or icing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Coloring: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Scoop Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and Decorate: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Decorate with sprinkles or icing once completely cooled.

Notes

Tips for success include not overmixing the dough and using room-temperature ingredients.
