These red velvet cookies are a perfect sweet treat for Valentine’s Day or any occasion. With a rich cocoa flavor, soft and chewy texture and a vibrant red hue, they’re as delicious as they are beautiful. The dough is infused with vanilla, cocoa and a touch of red food coloring, then studded with creamy white chocolate chips for a delightful contrast. After chilling, the cookies are baked just until the edges set, keeping the centers soft and fudgy. The result is a decadent, bakery-worthy treat that’s sure to impress!
