Red Velvet White-Chocolate Chip Cookies

People seem to either love or hate Valentine’s Day. Personally, I’ve always been a sucker for the holiday that was most likely invented by a greeting card company. There’s just something about all that ooey gooey love stuff that makes a grey winter day brighter.

This year I’ll be making my sweetheart a little something extra sweet in the form of a red velvet cookie. These stunning Red Velvet White-Chocolate Chip cookies are done in 30 minutes, making more time for snuggles.

To get started, gather your ingredients together and heat the oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or cooking parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla, egg and food color. Add Bisquick mix and baking cocoa; beat on low speed until combined. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough, about 2 inches apart, on each cookie sheet.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes, but no longer than 10 minutes (mine were perfect at 8 minutes). You want the cookies to look slightly underdone. Cool on cookie sheets 5 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks and enjoy.
