My friend Omar loves Red Velvet Cake. So I used this recipe for Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies and made cream cheese icing and made them into sandwiches.
For the cookies:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon red food coloring
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375.
Cream butter and sugars together until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and combine until smooth. Beat in red food coloring. Stir in cocoa, flour, baking soda and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out 1-2 tablespoons of dough and set on baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
For the cream cheese icing:
8 oz butter
8 oz cream cheese
3 to 4 c powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla
Mix room-temp butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer, slowly add the powdered sugar and then vanilla, beat on high until light and fluffy. The goal is to whip a good amount of air in there.
Once cookies are completely cool you can assemble them with the icing, store in an air-tight container in the fridge. It's best to eat these the same day you make them so they don't start to get soft from the fridge and the icing.
