Sinful Red Velvet Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with the rack in the middle position. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Break the chocolate squares into chunks, place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High until the chocolate melts, about 90 seconds. Stir the chocolate until smooth and set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy; pour in the egg and beat until smooth. Mix in the red food coloring and chocolate, scraping the bowl down regularly, until evenly blended, about 30 seconds. Add half of the sifted dry ingredients, stirring until well incorporated. Beat in the sour cream and mix in the remaining dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
• Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven until they spring back when pressed, about 9 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the cream cheese frosting, whip 1/4 cup butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth. Blend in the powdered sugar in half cup portions until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
• In large bowl, beat all ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until well combined (batter will be very thick). Using 1-inch cookie scoop, drop dough about 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
• Beat in the egg.
• Beat in the vanilla extract.
• Beat in the cake mix.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls.I've chilled batter overnight and it comes out fine.
• After batter has chilled and you're ready to make the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in confectioner's sugar.
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
• Bake 12 minutes. The cookies should remain soft and gooey.
• Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar, if desired.
• To make these devilishly rich, I also top the cookies with cream cheese frosting, which is simple to make. I use Bev's Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe #55530), but double the vanilla. Or, if I'm making them for people I know have more of a savory tooth than sweet, I'll triple it to a full tablespoon.

Steps:

• In a microwave, melt unsweetened chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool., In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in the egg, food coloring and vanilla. Add cooled chocolate; beat until blended. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips., Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 6-9 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Spread with frosting. If desired, decorate with sprinkles.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Mix everything except the powdered sugar into a bowl (Batter will be thick).
• Spoon into balls and roll in the powdered sugar.
• Place on cookie sheets leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) between cookies. Level with a glass.

• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream the butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the flour and mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the cake mix and water and continue mixing until smooth, about 1 minute more. Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and flatten into a disc. Wrap tightly, then refrigerate until slightly firmed, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Divide the dough in half. Working with one portion at a time (wrap the other in the plastic and refrigerate until ready to use), roll out on a lightly floured surface to ½ inch thick. Cut out shapes using the cookie cutters. Use an offset spatula to gently lift the cookies and transfer to the prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Gather and re-roll the scraps until all of the dough is used.
• Bake the cookies until they have puffed and the edges begin to crisp, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• When ready to decorate, place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted completely.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Dip the cookies in the candy melts, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Alternatively, transfer the candy melts to a small piping bag and cut the tip, then drizzle over the cookies. Garnish with the red, green, and white sprinkles. Let sit until the candy hardens, about 10 minutes.
• Enjoy!
