Red velvet cookies are super sweet, moist and gorgeously red with a slightly fudgy centre.

 

 These are the sort of treats you can whip up easily and share with your friends and family. 

 They’re sure to satisfy those red velvet cravings!

  You can rather dip one-half of cookies in melted white chocolate instead of drizzling over the top. 

  Milk chocolate, dark chocolate or cream cheese frosting can also be used to top the cookies.
