Equipment
- 1 baking tray
- Parchment paper
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 Hand-held electric whisk
Ingredients
- 130 g unsalted butter
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 60 g White granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of red food colouring
- 265 g all-purpose flour
- 15 g unprocessed cocoa powder
- 1 + ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
- A pinch of salt
- 200 g of white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cup of red and green M&MS
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 160C/350F. Put non-stick parchment paper on a baking tray and keep it aside.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder and keep it aside for later.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk butter and sugar for 3-5 minutes or until fluffy.
- Then, add the egg, red food coloring and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix well until combined.
- Add one-third of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula. Do this again with the rest of the flour mixture, add chocolate chips and stir well until combined. Save 3-2 tablespoon of chocolate chips for later.
- Scoop the dough with an ice cream scoop or tablespoon, softly roll it into a ball and put it on the prepped baking sheet. Do this again with the rest of the dough and make sure there is space between each ball to avoid the cookies from sticking as they spread while baking. Put the saved chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes.
- Take them out of the oven, then softly press white chocolate chips, chopped red and green m&m bits into each cookie. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then put them on a cooling rack to cool down. Enjoy the best red velvet Christmas cookies with hot chocolate, Baileys hot chocolate or white hot chocolate.
Notes
Dry ingredients: Sift all the dry ingredients to remove lumps and make sure the cookie dough has the correct texture when combined with the wet ingredients.
Measuring scale: When baking, many errors occur because the ingredients are not measured precisely. To prevent this, use a reliable weighing scale.
Cookie dough: Do not overmix the cookie dough, as this will make the cookies tough. Mix the ingredients until they are well blended. Also, do not roll the cookies too tightly because this will stop them from flattening when baking.
