These red velvet thumbprint cookies are so rich and fluffy with the perfect amount of cream cheese filling.
They are perfectly festive and delicious for a Christmas cookie exchange.
Lets have a frank discussion about red velvet for a moment.
A lot of people think it tastes like chocolate, but it doesnt.
Were not making cake, so we just have cocoa powder in these cookies.
But the flavor of these bad boys are not anything about the cookie, to be honest .
its all about being a vehicle for the filling.
I feel like anyone who doesnt admit that about red velvet is a big ol liar!
Lets embark on this culinary adventure together, transforming simple ingredients into something truly magical.
After all, whats a snow day without a little indulgence, right?
Heres what you need for thesethumbprint cookies.
This keeps the cookies from spreading a lot.
They are my absolutely favorite and cook baked items so evenly.
You want edges that are set.
And when the cream cheese goes in, you want that to look set on the top.
Slightly wiggle the pan too.
If the cream cheese moves too much, put them back in.
I told you they were gorgeous and believe me, they are even more delicious than they are pretty.
The perfect Christmas cookie.
ThisChristmas dessertis one that you have to try.
I promise, youre going to want to make these every single year!
