Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; mix in the raspberry liqueur.
• Sift the red velvet cake mix into the bowl and stir until completely blended and the mixture forms a dough. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Using your hands, roll 1 teaspoon of dough at a time into a ball, and then roll each ball in the desired decoration. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. These will be baked in three batches, so it is best to keep the dough in the refrigerator while one batch is baking, and roll them right before they go into the oven.
• Bake until the cookies spread and the tops begin to crackle, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, and then remove to a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Melt butter; set aside to cool. Place powdered sugar and cornstarch in shallow dish. Mix with a fork to blend.
• Place cake mix, cooled butter, eggs and lemon zest in large mixing bowl. Mix by hand until well blended and a dough forms.
• Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place on cool, ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
• Bake, 1 sheet at a time, in center of oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
• Store in airtight container with wax paper or parchment separating layers.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in vinegar, food coloring and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in chips. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour or until firm., Preheat oven to 350°. Shape dough into 1-1/2-in. balls; roll in confectioners' sugar. Place 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until tops are cracked and edges are set, 12-15 minutes. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a medium bowl with an electric mixer), cream the butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Reduce the speed to low, and add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the food coloring and vanilla, and mix until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sea salt and baking soda. Add half the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl, draping a kitchen towel over the mixer and bowl to contain the flour cloud if desired, and mix well. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Pour the confectioners' sugar into a shallow bowl. Scoop the dough into heaping 2-tablespoon scoops (about 30 grams each) and roll into balls. Roll the dough balls in the confectioners' sugar until thickly coated all over. (You shouldn't be able to see any of the dough peeking through.)
• Transfer to the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow room for the cookies to spread. Spoon the remaining confectioners' sugar from the shallow bowl into a sifter, and sift the sugar generously over the cookies until they are well covered. You want a solid layer, about 1/8-inch thick, of sugar on top for maximum crinkle effect. (If the cookies are not thickly coated, the sugar will simply be absorbed into the dough during baking.)
• Transfer the cookies to the oven, one sheet at a time, and bake until the cookies are set and the surface is crackly, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheet.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Put the baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave. Stir and let cool.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, slowly drizzle in the cooled chocolate. Scrape the bowl and mix again. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the buttermilk, food coloring and vanilla. Scrape the bowl and mix once more.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and stir together. Add the flour mixture in 2 increments into the mixing bowl with the mixer on low. Scrape the bowl once and mix a final time until well combined. Fold in the chunked white chocolate.
• Scoop generous tablespoons of the dough, roll in the confectioners' sugar until generously coated and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are poufy and set, about 12 minutes. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cool the cookies for 30 minutes and then recoat with confectioners' sugar if desired.
