Happpy Valentines Day- Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies



I decided to make these amazing cookies for Valentines Day. I decided on them because they were a little different then the conventional red velvet cupcake.

Ingredients:

2 sticks salted sweet cream butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons red food coloring
1 cup chocolate chips

Makes about 30 cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix butter and sugars together until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla. Then the red food coloring.

( I used an electric mixer just used the wooden spoon in between.)

Next comes the cocoa, flour, and baking soda until well mixed. Then finally the chocolate chips. 


Spoon about 2 tablespoons onto a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes. 


They are really good like this but also can easily be turned into sandwiches with cream cheese icing.
