Single Serve Red Velvet Cookie
A single serve red velvet cookie with white and semisweet chocolate, and without any egg. This is the perfect crispy edge, chewy center subtle chocolate cookie for one, that you can whip up in one bowl in less than thirty minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) salted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons (37.5 g) packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon (12 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons (8 g) milk any kind
- ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon red food coloring 6-8 drops
- ⅛ teaspoon (0.13 teaspoon) baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon (1 g) baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon (0.13 teaspoon) salt
- 1½ tablespoons (8 g) cocoa powder I like to use dutch processed
- ¼ cup (35 g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons (42 g) chocolate chips I used white chocolate and semi sweet
- flaked sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a small bowl mix together the melted butter and sugar. Add in vanilla, milk and red food coloring and mix again.
- Whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder, flour and mix. Add this into the wet ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Create one large cookie ball (or two medium) and place on the baking sheet. Chill the dough in the freezer for 5-10 minutes while the oven preheats if you prefer a thicker cookie.
- Bake the cookie for 12-14 minutes, or until firm along the edges and not too much jiggle in the middle. Sprinkle with flaked salt as soon as it's done baking. If baking two medium cookies bake for 10-12 minutes.

Notes
If your dough feels dry at all, or doesn't come together into a ball add an extra teaspoon of milk. If your dough feels too sticky add an extra ½-1 tablespoon of flour.
I used 2 tablespoons of white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of mini semisweet, but do whatever you prefer.
This makes one giant red velvet cookie, or you can turn it into two.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don't have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
