Description
Festive and easy Red Velvet Snowflake Cookies with a soft, chewy texture and a delicate powdered sugar finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together.
- Roll the dough into balls about 1 to 1.25 inches in diameter and place on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and centers look just set.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
