Ingredients & Variations
COOKIE DOUGH Eggs, flour, butter, sugar, and vanilla make the foundation for red velvet chocolate chip cookies and the addition of milk keeps them extra soft and chewy during the baking process. For a little seasonal inspiration try these fun variations:
- Green food coloring with a dash of mint extract
- Orange food coloring with a dash of maple extract
- Yellow food coloring with a dash of banana extract
ADD-INS: White chocolate chips provide the most colorful contrast in this recipe, but mini dark chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, toffee pieces, mini M&M’s, toasted coconut, or chopped walnuts or pecans are all great additions.
PRO TIP: Toast coconut or nuts in a dry pan until barely fragrant. This cooks off the extra oils and intensifies their flavor!
How to Make Red Velvet Cookies in the Air Fryer
It’s super easy to make red velvet cookies in the air fryer!
- Whisk dry ingredients together in one bowl and wet ingredients in another.
- Add the dry mix to the wet mix and fold in the chocolate chips.
- Cover and chill dough for 30 minutes.
- Roll dough into balls and bake in the air fryer (per recipe below).
These tasty cookies will disappear as quickly as you can bake them, but be sure not to overcrowd your air fryer basket to ensure that they cook correctly!
Tips for Soft Chewy Cookies
- Add the red food coloring in by drops until the perfect level of pink or red is achieved.
- Keep cookie portions in uniform sizes so they bake at the same rate and allow enough air between them for a perfect result.
- For best results, avoid over-baking the cookies so they stay soft and moist after they are cooled.
- Avoid overloading the cookie dough with too many add-ins so the cookies stay together.
- Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
