Yield: 20 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups (213 g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ cup + 3 tbsp (188 g) sugar, divided
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs + 2 large egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 tbsp red velvet bakery emulsion (or red food coloring)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 4 tbsp (57 g) unsalted butter
  • 3 oz (85 g) bittersweet chocolate
  • ¼ cup (25 g) cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (60 g) confectioners sugar
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup (150 g) of the sugar, the brown sugar, eggs, egg yolks, canola oil, red velvet bakery emulsion, vanilla, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Place the butter and and chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between each, until melted and completely combined. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until completely combined.
  4. Add the chocolate-butter mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until completely combined. Add the flour mixture and mix with a rubber spatula. Once combined, cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350F and line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and remaining 3 tbsp of granulated sugar. Scoop the dough into 1.5 tbsp portions and roll in the sugar mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheets so that there are 8 cookies per sheet. Bake one pan at a time, rotating halfway through baking for a total bake time of 12-14 minutes or until the cookies are puffed up but still soft in the center.
  7. Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
