These Red Velvet Pan-Banging Cookies boast a chewy texture with a rich, cocoa flavor, making them an irresistible treat for gatherings and celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
  • Add in the egg, vanilla, and red food coloring, mixing until combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
  • Bang the baking sheet against the counter right after placing the cookies in the oven.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • While the cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Once cookies are completely cool, frost them and enjoy!
