White Chocolate-Dipped Red Velvet Cookies

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son on February 9, 2012

Monday morning I woke up and something was bothering me. I couldn’t shake the feeling. I had two great recipes that I wanted to share for Sweet Tooth Friday, both appropriate for Valentine’s day and I just couldn’t decide which would be the one.

I obsessed about it all morning.

I considered calling Hubs who was away for work to help me decide.

Then I decided that would make me sound like a crazy person.

Instead, I asked Facebook. Because that’s what you do, when you can’t decide. Right?

And so, this recipe is for all of you.

You know what? I almost regretted taking your advice. Because as I was slicing up the chilled dough I was convinced that these cookies were going to be a disaster.

You see, the dough, it was crumbling as I sliced it. I used my very sharpest knife, I carefully measured so I was cutting at the right thickness. And still, it was crumbling. Not every slice, but enough to make me want to throw my hands up in the air, blame Facebook, and mourn over the time and butter I had wasted.

Instead, I “glued” the dough back together by squishing and smoothing until it resembled properly sliced cookie dough. Then I baked it. And before my very eyes, something amazing happened. The dough, as crumbly as it was, turned into these gorgeous, bright red cookies.

Perfectly shaped cookies.

Then I did what any normal person would do, I danced around the kitchen. Because it’s completely normal to break out in dance over cookies.

After I caught my breath, I dipped these babies in white chocolate. Topped a few with sprinkles, tasted a few…ahem…and did another happy dance.

I have a confession to make though. I used one of my secret cookie weapons: cake mix. These aren’t 100% from scratch. If you have ever made cookies with cake mix, well, then you understand. If you haven’t, you simply must. And that’s an order.

P.S. I’m totally going to make these from scratch one day too. I just can’t resist.

And also…the other recipe I was considering was for hot chocolate microwave brownies in a mug. And that my friends, is coming next week.
