Why I love these cookies:

• Delicious—The chocolate flavor with hints of vanilla is absolutely divine, especially with the cream cheese frosting. They are thin enough that it’s not overwhelming when you sandwich two cookies together.
• Beautiful—Whether you are looking for a festive holiday cookie for Valentine’s Day or Christmas, or just looking to make something a little extra special, these are made to impress!
• Soft—These red velvet sandwich cookies have a perfect soft and chewy texture! Similar to the classic Homemade Oreo Cookies.

How to Make Red Velvet Cookies

Make cookie dough: Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg and red food coloring to wet ingredients and mix to combine. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed.
