I got it in my head that I wanted to make a gluten-free red velvet cookie recipe. Well, now it’s the holiday season, there’s green and red everywhere, and I’ve been in the mood to BAKE. It’s been a minute since I’ve developed a new gluten-free cookie recipe, huh?

Great texture - no one will know they're gluten-free! If you need some other festive treats, I’d check out my Red Velvet Pancakes, White Chocolate Dipped Valentine’s Day Cookies, or Cookie Pizza.These Gluten-Free Red Velvet Cookies are rich, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chips.

I hope ya’ll enjoy these Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies and have a fun Valentine’s Day, whether you love Valentine’s Day or not! Easy to make, a little extra festive, soft, thick and delicious! Other than that, these Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies are a pretty classic cookie. As your cookies bake and spread, those chips will stay on the top for a pretty presentation! To make these cookies super pretty and festive, be sure to press a few extra chocolate chips (or M&M’s) gently into the tops of your cookie dough balls before they bake. But, I wouldn’t recommend trying to use other sugar substitutes instead. To make these cookies dairy-free, you can use coconut oil (or a dairy-free butter alternative), and dairy-free chocolate chips.įor a more natural sugar option, you can use coconut sugar instead of the brown sugar. I love the idea, but I always end up buying what’s available to me where I regularly shop, and for me that’s traditional food dye. I’ve heard great things about more natural food dye options like beet powder, but I haven’t used it myself. You can usually find it by the sprinkles, candles and cupcake liners, or by the spices. Next, let’s talk red food color You’ll want to use a simple red food color, just like the little 4 pack (of red, blue, yellow, green) that you can buy at the store. I grew up eating crispy cookies, so I like those too, but soft cookies just have a special place in my heart! Most of my recipes are for thicker, soft cookies, as that’s what we prefer in my house. These cookies are a super simple way to get a little festive, without going crazy, and they will quickly become an easy Valentine’s Day tradition! Time to talk cookie details.įirst, if you want thick, soft cookies, then THESE are the cookies for you! If you’re looking for thin, crispy cookies, then find another recipe. You can get SUPER festive with these and use Valentine’s Day M&M’s if you’d like, white chocolate chips, milk or dark chocolate chips. These thick, soft cookies are filled with cocoa powder and chocolate chips for double chocolate flavor, and a little food coloring for the perfect Valentine’s Day red hue. Our Valentine’s Day this year will look like this: Chocolate Oat Pancakes for breakfast, we’ll make chocolate dipped strawberries (either together, or by myself… I haven’t decided how messy I want my house to be yet!), and finish the day off with these Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert. They love Holidays, any Holiday! My son actually convinced me to go to the Dollar Store this year and get Valentine’s Day decorations! 🙂 I do love baking for them though and I like to do something special for my kids. I just don’t get really into Holidays and get super excited about them (except Christmas!). Valentine’s Day calls for all things chocolate and red, like these easy, gluten-free (and easily dairy-free) Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies! Is Valentine’s Day your thing?
