Instructions
The recipe for red Red Velvet crinkle cookies is for lovers of two of the most popular recipes of the moment - cocoa crinkle cookies and Red Velvet cake. A wonderful and very attractive combination of the two. Like cocoa crinkle cookies, the Red Velvet crinkle cookies are just as attractive and also have a cocoa flavor, but since they contain significantly less cocoa the chocolate taste is lighter. Suitable for Christmas and for Valentine's Day, they make a wonderful idea for an impressive gift.
- The first step is preparing the liquid mixture. All products should be at room temperature. Beat the eggs together with the sugar using a mixer, a whisk, or simply a fork. Add the oil and beat again. Sift the flour together with the cocoa, baking powder and salt.
- Little by little, while beating continuously, add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture and add the red coloring. You can use either liquid or powder coloring. Beat with a mixer or whisk at the start, but toward the end it is best to stir with a spoon since the mixture becomes very thick. Put the resulting dough in a bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. You can also prepare the dough, put it in the freezer, and bake the cookies even after a few days.
- After about 30 minutes, remove the dough from the fridge. Form balls from the dough and roll them in powdered sugar. Arrange the balls on a tray lined with baking paper. Bake the red Red Velvet crinkle cookies in a preheated 180°C oven for about 12 minutes.
