Ingredients
Cookies:
1/2 cup butter (softened, salted or unsalted)
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp white vinegar
1–2 tsp red gel food coloring
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking powder
Cream Cheese Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
3 tbsp butter (softened)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Add egg, vanilla, vinegar, and red gel food coloring. Mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, cornstarch, and baking powder.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
Scoop 9 cookie dough balls, flatten slightly, and place on baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes. Cool on sheet for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
For frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese until creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, beat until fluffy (3–5 mins).
Frost cooled cookies and optionally top with red velvet crumbs.
Notes
Use red gel food coloring for vibrant red cookies — avoid liquid coloring.
Cookies may appear underbaked but will set while cooling on the tray.
Chill the dough before baking for a thicker cookie texture.
Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 4 days.
