Christmas Cookies

Red Velvet Christmas Cookies

Have you ever made crinkle cookies before? If you haven’t, let me explain. In summary, they are cookies that you roll into dough balls and then coat in powdered sugar. When they bake, they spread out and left looking cracked.

This type of cookie generally has a very soft and chewy texture. It’s certainly a fan favorite for a lot of people.

INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED

  • All Purpose Flour. Make sure not to use self-rising because that already has the baking powder and soda in it.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. We will add in the sweetness with sugar.
  • Baking Powder.
  • Baking Soda.
  • Salt.
  • Unsalted Butter. Salted butter will lead to a saltier tasting cookie.
  • Sugar.
  • Eggs.
  • Milk.
  • Vanilla.
  • Powdered Sugar.
  • Food coloring. This is what gives these cookie the red coloring.
