Recipe adapted from hereOne of the first recipes on my blog was a red velvet cupcake. I had never had red velvet before and quickly fell in-love, but I mean let's be honest here... it's not too hard to win me over when it's a cupcake. I loved the buttermilk flavour mixed in with the cocoa, and the colour, I think really it's the colour that won me over. When I found a recipe for red velvet COOKIES I knew I had to make them. They aren't your traditional red velvet since there isn't buttermilk, or vinegar, but the colour is what won me over. I did however adapt this quite a bit.
It was my friends birthday and I wanted to make her something special. Love is usually represented with the colour red, and I thought what better way to show someone you care than with a red cookie, lame I know, but it worked right?
Yeah those bad boys were devoured. My adaption made these cookies absolutely positively awesome, yes awesome! I know I used that word quite frequently when describing cookies, but I just love a soft-chewy cookies, and these had the perfect combination of chocolate, caramel, chew, softness, and colour, ahhhh soo good! I'm pretty sure the heart's of everyone who tasted these melted on spot, yes that good. Ah, these will definitely be made again, perhaps for Christmas, some red and green cookies? Ooooh the possibilities!
