Super moist, fudgy, Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies with an unusual ingredient that gives them a really amazing texture!
Have I ever told you how much I love Red Velvet…..I mean….. LOVE? Well, if I haven’t already gone into detail….let me just say…I LOVE LOVE LOVE Red Velvet! The flavor….sweet, mild chocolate….a lil tangy….oh and the COLOR! Happy, joyous, bright, glorious REDDDD. It just makes me happy. You know, like I’m 8 years old at Disneyland and Tinkerbell fly’s across the night sky. That kind of HAPPY.
So, these Red Velvet Cream Cheese Crinkle Cookies are AH-MAZING! The cream cheese gives them the signature Red Velvet tang, but it also makes the cookies dense and fudgy in texture. The color is a lovely deep red and contrasts gorgeously with the white powdered sugar crackle. The flavor is just the right amount chocolaty and, overall, wonderfully Red Velvet.

I’m so happy you enjoyed these cookies, Ruthann!!
These revelvet crinkle cookies were made for my daughter in laws birthday, unfortunately we had to wait till after dinner out to bake them. Minutes after they cam out of the oven 8 were missing by the quick fingers of 4 people…..eaten by few, loved by all.
That’s so awesome, Bunny! Glad to hear everyone liked them! ?
In step 2 you say to add sugar and cream, but there is no cream listed in the ingredients
Hey Megan. There’s no cream in this recipe. I was using the word cream as a verb, like cream the ingredient is a bowl. I changed it to mix. So sorry for the confusion! Thank you for pointing it out to me. Let me know if you try these cookies. They’re wonderful <3
You are Red Velvet Queen!!! These are perfect for Valentines Day 🙂
