Easy classic red velvet crinkle cookies recipe, homemade with simple ingredients from scratch. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with a beautiful crackled powdered sugar topping.
In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until mixture is light and fluffy.
Add eggs, milk, lemon juice or vinegar, and red gel coloring and mix until smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda.
Dump the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix!
Chill the dough for 2 hours or overnight.
Scoop out small portions of the dough and make small balls. Roll them in granulated sugar first and then, roll in powdered sugar. Place them on a baking tray, lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are firm around the edges. Enjoy!
