During college, my student job was in the bakery. These Red Velvet Cookies take me back to that special place and time. Ingredients:
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon red food coloring |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup sour cream |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1 can (16 ounces) cream cheese frosting |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, melt unsweetened chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, food coloring and vanilla. Add cooled chocolate; beat until blended. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 6-9 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Spread with frosting. Yield: 5 dozen.
