Tips and Tricks for Making Crumbl Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sift your dry ingredients first to avoid clumps of flour or cocoa powder hiding in the dough. White chocolate chips are softer than dark chocolate, so fold them in gently by hand to keep them intact. For that signature bakery-style look with craggy tops, break each dough ball in half and press the rough sides together facing outward. To make the cookies extra photogenic, press a few reserved chips onto the tops just before baking. These cookies also freeze perfectly—bake a batch and stash some for later!

Variations
You can switch up the flavor by using any type of baking chips in place of white chocolate, or mix and match for variety. A dollop of cream cheese frosting on top adds extra richness and enhances the red velvet flavor. For smaller cookies, divide the dough into 16 portions and reduce the baking time to 6–8 minutes. And if you’re feeling creative, go beyond red—try making blue, purple, or green velvet versions with different food colorings.
