Red velvet white chocolate chip cookies just scream Valentine’s Day to me. The red velvet is a great choice as it displays that beautiful red color, which is a Valentine’s Day staple!
Since these red velvet cookies are paired with white chocolate chips you also get a nice soft chocolate to complement the soft cookie. White chocolate seems to melt the best in cookies. I don’t know what it is, but I love almost anything that has white chocolate in it.
These would be a fun recipe to make for your next get-together, or if your kids are having a Valentine’s Day party in their class at school. Send them with these red velvet cookies and they will get to impress all of their friends.

How To Make Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar. Mix for 3-4 minutes or until it’s pale and fluffy.
- Add vinegar and mix until combined. Add the egg until combined. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add vanilla and red food coloring and combine.
- Then add half the flour, cocoa, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the mixing bowl. Once fully combined, add the rest of the flour and mix until everything is incorporated. Mix in the white chocolate chips.
- Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- Roll dough into ping pong sized balls and place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes.
Storage Suggestions
If you manage to not eat the whole tray of cookies immediately, these Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies store well. Once cookies have completely cooled, here is how you can store them:
- Counter: Store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 4 days at room temperature. If you want to try and get the cookies to last even longer without becoming crumbly cookies, add a slice of bread into the container of cookies. The bread will give the cookies something to draw moisture from.
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 7 days in a refrigerator.
- Freezer: You can freeze precooked cookie dough for cookies later. Just roll out and freeze for 30 minutes, and then transfer to an airtight, freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. To store cooked cookies, let them cool completely before you put them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

These look awesome! Wondering about how many cookies per batch?
They make around 3 dozen. But it really depends on how big you roll your cookie dough balls. Hope this helps. -The Six Sisters
I just ran to the store & forgot to get vinegar! Can I do without it or is there a possible substitution? Thanks!
I know in that in baking a cake, vinegar is used to sour the milk. And lemon juice can be used as a substitute. But this cookie recipe doesn’t have milk. 1 teaspoon isn’t much vinegar. I’m thinking just go without the vinegar. But I’m just guessing. Haven’t actually tried it. Let us know how it all turns out! -The Six Sisters
This is my “go to” cookie recipe. I have made these cookies so many times! Love them. Always turn out great!
These turned out great and tasted great but they were brown not red. I noticed my batter looked light brown so I add two more teaspoons of red and the cookies still look light brown when cooked??
