Shoutout to all you millennial girls out there, it’s the best scene and song from Troop Beverly Hills. I have so many thoughts. First, outfits are on fleek. Second, the choreographed dance moves are fire. Should I make this a Tik Tok dance? Lastly, can I address the girls walking around the restaurant saying, “Cigars, cigarettes, cookies!” It’s such a vibe.
ANYWAYS – Let’s talk about these red velvet crinkle cookies. They are absolutely divine! I have to say, I think I hit a home-run with this original recipe.
When the tongue hits the cookie, it’s crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Grab a glass of ice-cold milk, take a warm bite – and byeeee. Delicious is an understatement. I’m addicted.
Watch my Tik Tok video of how to make these cookies!
100% crowd-approved. Just a few days ago I brought these to my mom’s dinner party and they were demolished instantly. Everyone was asking me for the recipe.
Recipe can be easily doubled. You’ll likely find you have most of these ingredients in your pantry already making this an affordable dessert! You may just need to buy red food coloring. See my note below.
They are fun to make! They undergo a full Tyra makeover. Before you put them in the oven, they look like cute little Russian tea cakes. And when you take them out, they’ve undergone a full makeover – their hair is dyed red, they possess beautiful lines and transform into something confident and beautiful cookies.
Food coloring – I recommend using Wilton’s as it’s an intense and vibrant red. This gives the cookies a luscious velvety color. Otherwise, you may need to add more drops of a generic brand.
Room temperature ingredients – This is a must for the eggs and butter! There’s a science behind it (which I won’t get into), but it’ll throw off the texture of the cookies otherwise.
Dough balls – After mixing the wet and dry ingredients, the texture of the dough may be sticky. I recommend putting the bowl straight into the freezer for 10-15 minutes so it has a little time to firm up. The perfect texture should be just malleable enough to roll into balls. The dough should NOT be rock solid, so set a timer!
Slam dem cookies – If the cookies aren’t expanding enough to your liking, remove the cookie sheet from the oven and bang the pan on the counter 1-2 times to flatten them out. Do this at the very end of the baking time.
Leftovers? – These will stay fresh for up to 3 days after baking when stored in an air-tight container. I recommend putting them in the microwave for 10 seconds and they actually melt in your mouth.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. I am wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
These red velvet Christmas cookies are not only pleasing to the eye, they are soft and gooey on the inside and satisfyingly crispy on the outside. They're the perfect dessert to bring to your next holiday party and are 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
