Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies:

- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dutch processed cocoa
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring
White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 oz. white chocolate, melted
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
Red Velvet Cookie Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for later.
- Cream together butter and sugar in a mixing bowl for 2 minutes.
- Add eggs, corn syrup and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl mix together flour, cocoa, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.
- Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix.
- Add in red food coloring and mix until all of the dough reaches your desired color.
- Scoop your dough into 2-3 tablespoon sized balls. Place 6-8 cookies on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes. Begin working on the white chocolate buttercream frosting while the cookies bake.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting Instructions:
- Cream together the butter and powdered sugar.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Heat for 15 seconds at a time, stirring each time until the chocolate is completely melted. Add to the butter and sugar mixture.
- Add vanilla extract, salt and milk. I would start with 1 tablespoon of milk. If you feel like you need more, add it. Mix until smooth.
- Spoon the frosting into a piping bag. Once the cookies are completely cooled, pipe the frosting onto the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
- Lastly and most importantly TAKE THAT BITE!
Notes
- Make sure that your butter is room temperature for the buttercream frosting. If it’s too cold, your frosting will be lumpy.
- My hubby says these cookies are the bomb-digity dunked in a cold glass of milk. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but take that information and do as you please with it(;
