Cookie Dough and Oven MittIngredients
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon red velvet bakery emulsion or red gel food color(optional)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix with a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. It will take about two minutes.
Step 3
Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and red velvet bakery emulsion. Mix until incorporated.
Step 4
Add in the baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and flour and mix on low until almost all the flour is incorporated. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 20 seconds until the dough forms a ball.
Step 5
Add in 1 cup of chocolate chips. I saved out the ¼ of a cup to add to the tops of my cookies.
Step 6
Using a medium sized cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough. I did 6 at a time to give them room to fill out.
Step 7
I pressed 3-4 chips into the tops of the cookie dough.
Step 8
Place into the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool about 10 - 15 minutes until cool. They will cook a little more on the baking sheet.
Step 9
Place onto a cooling rack and let cool completely.
Step 10
Frosting
Step 11
In a mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese and butter. Mix until light and fluffy. This will take about 2 minutes.
Step 12
Add in the vanilla extract, powdered sugar and milk. Mix until incorporated. Turn the mixer on high and beat for another 2 minutes until the frosting is fluffy.
Step 13
Add the frosting into a piping bag with a 1M tip and pipe swirls on the cooled cookies. Add the top cookie and give it a gentle squeeze.
