Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp red food coloring (gel recommended)
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough:
    • In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
    • Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until fully combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  3. Shape the Cookies:
    • Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Slightly flatten the tops of the dough balls with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
  4. Bake the Cookies:
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Prepare the Frosting:
    • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until light and fluffy.
  6. Frost the Cookies:
    • Once the cookies are completely cool, pipe or spread the cream cheese frosting on top of each cookie.
  7. Serve:
    • Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant red color without thinning the dough.
  • If you prefer smaller cookies, use 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and reduce the baking time by 1-2 minutes.
  • For extra flair, sprinkle the tops with red velvet crumbs or mini chocolate chips.
