Crinkle Cookies

RED VELVET CRINKLE BLOSSOM COOKIES

February 9, 2022 by Sarah Baade 14 Comments

Holiday Cookies

This is the third year in a row that I have created a new recipe specifically for Valentine’s Day. Probably my favorite holiday to make sweet treats for! But don’t let all the red and pink fool you, these treats are fun to eat year round! First was my Peanut Butter Cut Out Cookies. Then came my Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. This year, I’m bringing you Red Velvet Crinkle Blossom Cookies. Red velvet cookie dough rolled in powdered sugar then topped with a chocolate kiss fresh out of the oven. Absolute perfection.

Dry Ingredients

You know the routine by now, right? Start these Red Velvet Crinkle Blossom Cookies with your dry ingredients. In a bowl, you’re going to whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. This will disperse the baking powder throughout the cookies. You want to do this for two reasons. First, you don’t want anyone to bite into a clump of baking powder. Trust me on this, a clump of baking powder makes for a very bitter bite. The other reason you want to whisk these ingredients is to make sure your cookies rise properly.

Wet Ingredients

In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Make sure you’re using room temperature butter. Beat it with the sugar until it is light in color and texture. In other words, beat it until you think you’ve got it and then beat it some more. Then mix in the eggs, vanilla, and food coloring. Yes, this recipe calls for a lot of food coloring. Yes, this is normal for red velvet. We want RED Velvet Crinkle Blossom Cookies, not pink. Finally, you can gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Now chill. Seriously, cover the dough with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour. I like to let it chill overnight.

Make Them Pretty

Once your dough is chilled for these Red Velvet Crinkle Blossom Cookies, go ahead and preheat your oven to 350℉. Roll dough into tight tablespoon sized balls then coat heavily in powdered sugar. No need to shake off any excess powdered sugar. Place on prepared cookie sheet and bake 10 minutes. As soon as you pull the cookies out of the oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the middle of each cookie. Let cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack. These are particularly delicious when they are still barely warm and the chocolate has warmed enough to fully melt in your mouth.

LEMON CRINKLE COOKIES

April 2, 2021 by Sarah Baade Leave a Comment

Challenging Month

March brought more blogging challenges than I’ve had in a while. As with many aspects of life, there are seasons of smooth, easy success. And then there are seasons where it seems like absolutely nothing is working. Last month, I had fail after fail after fail. I always have a running list of recipe ideas. I assign a few ideas to each month in my calendar to keep me going on new recipes and posts. With a goal of accomplishing a few new recipes each month, that list is essential. So during the month of March, I hit that list like I normally would. But this time, nothing was working out. I tested recipe after recipe and in the end, I only succeeded in getting one new post up on this site (here’s looking at you, Green Pea Hummus). Where does a food blogger go from here? You keep trying. Plain and simple, you keep going. And my next move was turning lemons into… cookies. To be honest, even this recipe for Lemon Crinkle Cookies took more trial and error than I prefer. But, I have to say, all of that effort has paid off and I am incredibly happy with these cookies!

Sweet Success

These Lemon Crinkle Cookies are a great balance of sweet, bright lemon flavor without being tart – the perfect lemon cookie. While creating this recipe, the first batch actually went straight into the garbage. Yes, it was that bad! But the potential was there. I love lemon desserts and I don’t give up easily. So, I tweaked and adjusted and then… success! I could eat an entire batch of these. I won’t, but I could. What do you do with extra cookies? I am a fan of freezing cookies but we don’t have room in our freezer right now. Instead, I brought these cookies to work and I’m so glad I did. I love sharing treats but I also appreciate getting honest feedback on new recipes. The praises were high on this one. I mean “these are my new favorite cookies” is not something I take lightly. Or how about “best cookies ever” as an unprompted review? Give these Lemon Crinkle Cookies a try for yourself and let me know what you think!
