Next up in my V-day dessert lineup is a red velvet white chocolate chip skillet cookie that I came across on pinterest a while ago. Chocolate chip cookies are an absolute favourite and the idea of a single huge skillet cookie that you eat with a spoon was a must try! This skillet cookie is really easy to make where you mix the standard butter, sugar, egg, flour, baking soda and salt, and throw it in the oven to bake, just like a cookie or a brownie. What makes these cookies “red velvet” is the addition of a full tablespoon of red food colouring and a bit of cocoa powder. When making this recipe for the photos I had one of those kitchen accidents where I grabbed the dark cocoa powder rather than the regular cocoa powder and this red velvet skillet cookie came out more of a dark red velvet, which I actually like! Melting ice cream is one of those pure delights in life and these red velvet white chocolate chip skillet cookie are simply divine when topped with it!
Here is one made with regular cocoa powder rather than dark cocoa powder, more of a rich red colour! Yum!
Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
A monster, skillet sized, red and chocolaty cookie with white chocolate chips that’s perfect topped with a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream and a pair of spoons!
ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon red food colouring
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
directions
- Mix the butter and sugars followed by the egg, vanilla, and red colouring.
- Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet followed by the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a greased 7-9 inch skillet and bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until a toothpick pushed into the centre comes out clean, about 18-22 minutes.
Option: Use dark coco powder for a darker colour.
I sticked to the recipe and got a pretty dry skillet cookie. Honestly, it’s a lot of sugar. I would not recommend this one if you want something that taste full of chocolate, as I wanted. There ‘re better recipes out there.
