Red Velvet Cookie

About the Red Velvet Cookie

Red velvet works because it sits between chocolate and vanilla, with just enough cocoa for depth and a soft, velvety crumb that earns the name. Crumbl's version keeps the cookie tender and tops it with a swirl of cream cheese frosting, which adds the tang that makes red velvet feel distinct rather than just a tinted chocolate cookie.

The frosting is the star here, so serve it at cool room temperature rather than warm, which keeps the topping from going runny. It is a strong choice for celebrations and looks the part next to a confetti or celebration flavor on a shared box.

Serving & pairing tip

Serve cool, not warm, so the cream cheese topping holds shape.
