Introduction

These White Chocolate Dipped Red Velvet Cookies are a delightful twist on classic red velvet flavor, enhanced by a smooth white chocolate coating. Soft, vibrant, and slightly cocoa-flavored, they are perfect for festive occasions or any time you want a sweet treat with a pop of color.

A stack of five bright red cookies is shown, each half dipped in smooth white icing, creating a striking contrast between the red and white colors. The top cookie has a bite taken out of it, revealing a textured, soft inside with small chocolate spots. The cookies are arranged in a neat pile on crumpled white paper, in front of a blurry background with a white bottle of milk and another red cookie set against a white marbled textured surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp red food coloring
12 oz white chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and mix until combined.
Step 3: Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix until incorporated. Stir in the red food coloring until the dough turns a vibrant red.
Step 4: Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Step 5: Bake the cookies at 375° F for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 6: While the cookies cool, melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Step 7: Once cool, dip half of each cookie into the melted white chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper to set and harden.
Step 8: Let the white chocolate harden completely, then enjoy your delicious cookies!

Tips & Variations

For more intense red color, increase the red food coloring by an additional teaspoon.
Use a toothpick to swirl white chocolate on top instead of dipping for a decorative look.
If you prefer, substitute white chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.

Storage

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep the white chocolate coating from melting, avoid storing in warm areas. Reheat gently at room temperature before serving; do not microwave as it may melt the chocolate unevenly.

How to Serve

The image shows a collection of round red cookies arranged neatly on crumpled white baking paper atop a white marbled surface, with some cookies dipped halfway in smooth white icing, creating a two-tone look with the red upper half and white lower half. In the top part, a few cookies are stacked slightly overlapping each other beside two clear glass bottles filled with milk, and a gray and white checked cloth is casually draped nearby, adding a soft texture contrast. The cookies have a slightly cracked surface giving them a homemade feel, and the colors stand out brightly against the white background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use gel food coloring instead of liquid?

Yes, gel food coloring works well and often provides a more vibrant color without thinning your dough.

How do I prevent the white chocolate from melting after dipping?

Allow the dipped cookies to set in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration can help speed up the hardening but may cause condensation when removed, so let cookies reach room temperature before serving.
