Delightful red velvet cupcake cookies topped with creamy cream cheese frosting, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • For the Frosting:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes. Add the egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk until just combined.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Let them cool before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. For the frosting, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
  9. Once cooled, generously spread the cream cheese frosting onto each cookie.
