Here are the ingredients you will need to make these. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.

- Brown sugar & granulated sugar– this recipe uses a mixture of both brown sugar and granulated sugar to give you that ooey gooey chocolate chip cookie texture.
- Egg– The egg is the binding agent, made sure to use an egg at room temperature.
- Red food coloring– Make sure to use gel food coloring to not add too much unnecessary liquid into the cookie dough.

- Salt– Always add a little salt to your baked goods to balance out the sweetness
- Baking soda– The baking soda will give these cookies a little height.
- White chocolate chips– I heard from someone that CRUMBL uses Guittard chocolate in their cookies so if you want something very similar to the real deal use that brand.
What is red velvet and why is it so good!?
Traditionally red velvet is a type of cake that is rich in flavor with a soft and moist crumb. It is flavored with both chocolate and vanilla to bring this harmonious flavor profile to life.
This traditional cake is distinguished by its red color. Back in the day people didn’t use red food coloring but got that color from using a non-dutched, anthocyanin-rich cocoa powder and vinegar.
Today we take a little bit of a shortcut and use red food coloring but the flavor is just as good, especially if paired with Cream cheese frosting.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ
Can you make these cookies without an electric mixer or a stand mixer?
You sure can. I usually prefer an electric mixer when making these because it makes it go by much faster.
But if you want to try making these red velvet chocolate chip cookies without, make sure your butter is softened and beat it well with the sugar and eggs to get everything properly emulsified.
Can you make red velvet desserts without red food coloring?
Red velvet is called red velvet because it is red. So If you’re wanting to make a redvelvet dessert make sure to use red food coloring.
Of course, it is gonna taste just as good without the food dye but it won’t look the part so make sure to use red food coloring!

jahin
hi, i made this once. it came out a bit too oily. can you tell me what i can do to fix that?
Chahinez
Hi Jahin! Sometimes that can happen because the ingredients are not mixed fully enough.
jahin
i followed your recipe fully. i m measured everything in grams. i used hand mixer to mix butter and sugar. although the rest of the ingredients i mixed with spatula. then i refrigerated the dough for a day. also i live in a warm humid country. can that be the issue? or should i use less butter?
SRC
Easy and delicious! Thank you for this recipe!
Chahinez
You’re welcome!
Gloria
Awesome cookie! Made them much smaller so got 30 cookies and baked 5-6 mins. Will definitely make them again and know my friends will love them. Even the raw dough..I know egg in the batter, but at my age why not and I could have eaten the whole bowl! Did add a few more chips before baking to get them to look like the picture. BTW, I used 1 1/2 tsp of no taste red food gel.
Chahinez
That’s awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed the cookies 😁
Leaanna
What can I substitute for corn starch?
Chahinez
Flour 1:1 ratio
Monica
There are amazing! I’ve had to make them four times this week, as they keep disappearing! Love them!
Chahinez
So glad you enjoyed these Monica!
Valissa
Please note – when you double the recipe the flour in grams does not change. I weighed the flour as recommended on the doubled amount on the recipes and the cookies were a total disaster. When I reviewed what I had done, I went back to the single batch and noticed the flour amount in grams was the same. Please make sure this gets changed for those of us who weigh rather than measure. To end on a positive note, they taste divine, they are just flat!
Chahinez
Hi Valissa! So sorry to hear you had this problem but the flour measurement doubles when you click the x2.
Andrea Aguirre
if i am making these into smaller dough balls when baking (smaller cookies), do i need to shorten the baking time?
Chahinez
Hi Andrea! and yes, you would cut the time depending on how much smaller (ex: you cut the recipe in half, so you would bake for half of the regular time).
Rin C
Wow. Wow. Wow. These taste amazing. I made them with half the corn starch and without the chocolate chips. I instead topped it with a bit of cream cheese icing. They were so soft and decadent with great flavor. 10/10 recipe, and I will definitely be making these again in the future. Can’t wait to see what I make of yours next!!!
Chahinez
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like them!
Ka
Do I have to use the red gel food coloring
Chahinez
It is gonna taste just as good without the food dye but it won’t look the part so make sure to use red food coloring!
Carmen
Loved this recipe so much! I bake a lot but this is the first time that when I make BIG cookies, they stay thick and don’t flatten!! They came out super chewy and decadent – not cakey at all! Definitely my new favourite cookie recipe <3
Chahinez
So glad to hear that!
ju
Can I skip the white vinegar if I don’t have it?
Chahinez
Yes you can, just use water instead.

Nina Jones
Seriously the BEST Red Velvet Cookie ever! I made 20 cookies and sandwiched them together with my buttercream/cream cheese frosting. They are oh my goodness delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipes!
Chahinez
BEst compliment ever!! Than kyou so much Nina!
Aunt Charlee
So, this makes just 8 cookies? Can you double the recipe or make them smaller without compromising the taste and essence of the cookies?
Chahinez
Yes you can! Just bake them for a few minutes less 🙂
Chahinez
Maddie
Better than Crumbl when you make them yourself 😊 I was worried about them spreading too much but they didn’t at all and even had to flatten them a little. I’ll definitely be making these again once they’re gone!
Chahinez
Homemade always winS!!!
Kulsum
My favourite!! Taste better than I expected them to and so simple to make. Thanks a lot

caroline
delicious! one of my favs, so creamy and good my family finished them so quickly and were begging me to make more!
Chahinez
I love hearing this! Thank you so much for sharing Caroline 🙂
Chahinez
Katie
Definitely recommend!! Make sure keep a close eye on the cookies around that 9-10 minute mark, because the white chocolate chips burn easily. Other than that, the cookies were so decadent, thick and chewy! One of my new favorites!
Chahinez
Thank you so much for sharing this thorough review, Katie! Which chocolate chips did you use for this recipe? I know that some brands burn faster than others.
So so happy you loved these cookies!

Can I make this without using brown sugar
Chahinez
Hi there! Brown sugar is definitely a must to give you that chocolate chip cookie texture. Soft and gooey while still having a stable body!
