Sweet Spot: Red Velvet Cookies

Hello friends! I have another dessert recipe to share with you, that being red velvet cookies. This is a recipe I kind of threw together myself after looking at so many others in an attempt to find one I liked, and this is what I came up with.

The Lineup:
     1 1/2 cups flour
     2 1/2 tbsp. cocoa powder
     1 tsp. baking powder
     1/4 tsp. salt
     1/2 cup butter, softened
     2/3 cup brown sugar
     1/4 cup sugar
     1 egg
     2 tbsp. Greek yogurt
     1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
     1 1/2 tsp. red food color gel
     2/3 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

The Play-by-Play:
1. Mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl, set aside.
2. Cream together butter and sugars. In a small bowl or ramekin, mix together yogurt,
    vanilla, and food color gel, add to butter and sugar. Add egg, mix well.
3. Slowly add flour mix to butter mix in 2 stages, mix until combined. Mix in 1/3 cup
    white chocolate chips.
4. Refrigerate dough at least 30 minutes before rolling into balls. Place remaining
    chocolate chips on top before baking. Depending on size, bake approximately 10
    minutes at 350 degrees.5. Let cool on pans about 2 minutes before transferring to cooling racks. Enjoy!

Alternates & Quick Play:

• Try using things other than white chocolate - dark or milk chocolate, walnuts, etc.
• I used about 1/2 tbsp. of dough per cookie, but more dough will require more cooking time.
• You can also place the remaining chocolate chips on top of the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven to avoiding the browning on top.

I wish you all the best,
