RED VELVET CRINKLE COOKIES DELISH RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.  Make cream cheese filling: In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until slightly firm, about 25 minutes.  Make cookie dough: While filling is being chilled, in a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.  Set aside.  In a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, food coloring, and vanilla until incorporated. Add flour mixture to dough, mixing until just combined. Make cookies: Scoop heaping tablespoons of the cookie dough, rolling into balls until you have 13 even-sized portions. Using palms and fingertips, flatten each into a 3 ½” circle that is about 1/4” thick. Place about 2 teaspoons of cream cheese filling in the center of each round, keeping the edges clean. Bring the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch the edges together to seal.  Gently roll the filled dough into a ball. Space cookies about 3" apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake cookies 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
