You guys! Ugh… this gestational diabetes is killing me this month. Not only is it Valentine’s Day and not I have to miss out on all those delicious chocolates that are floating around this time of year… but it’s also my birthday month and I can’t even indulge in some birthday cake or treats like these gorg red velvet cookies.
Just looking at that beautiful red color and that dipped white chocolate is making me super sad.
I guess it’s a good thing I actually made these last Christmas so I don’t have any taunting me in the house.
Though if I did have any in the house, I know they wouldn’t last long because this batch didn’t last long. I think I was able to enjoy 2-3 of them before the kids snuck and devoured them all in less than 2 days.
Seriously.
Anyway, since I was in my blogging funk last fall and didn’t post anything, I thought Valentine’s Day would be the perfect time to share these beautiful red cookies in front of you.
Red is synonymous with Valentine’s Day and since I didn’t share them last December for Christmas, this was the next best choice instead of saving them for a year.
These cookies are super simple to make and come together in about 20 minutes.
If you’d prefer, you can just make the cookies by themselves without dipping them in the white chocolate but I highly recommend you dip them.
These cookies come out soft and chewy, just how I like my cookies, and then add a sweet side of white chocolate and you’re over the top with deliciousness.
I can guarantee that you won’t be able to stop eating them and if you make them for your loved one this year, they will definitely love them, too.
