Red Velvet Cookies
recipe slightly adapted from The Recipe Critic


Ingredients:

• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 2½ Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1½ tsp cornstarch
• ¾ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp of margarine/butter
• 1½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1½ tsp white vinegar
• 1 Tbsp red food coloring ( I could only find purple so I used that which is why you can tell by the pictures that mine were kind of lacking the red in red velvet and were more of a less photogenic brownish purplish)

Beat the margarine/butter and sugar. Add the eggs, vinegar, and food coloring. Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl. Add together. Drop the cookie dough in teaspoons onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for around 20 minutes.


Cream Cheese Icing

•  8oz cream cheese ( Thats one of those rectangular Philedalphia blocks)
• 2 cups caster sugar
• 1/4 cup butter

Beat all the ingredients together with an electric mixer.
