RED VELVET COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with the rack in the middle position. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Break the chocolate squares into chunks, place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High until the chocolate melts, about 90 seconds. Stir the chocolate until smooth and set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy; pour in the egg and beat until smooth. Mix in the red food coloring and chocolate, scraping the bowl down regularly, until evenly blended, about 30 seconds. Add half of the sifted dry ingredients, stirring until well incorporated. Beat in the sour cream and mix in the remaining dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
• Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven until they spring back when pressed, about 9 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the cream cheese frosting, whip 1/4 cup butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth. Blend in the powdered sugar in half cup portions until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.

• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops start to crack, about 8 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
• In a large bowl combine cream cheese, butter, evaporated milk, vanilla, and coconut. Add the confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing well with each addition. If consistency is too stiff, add more milk.
• Place the chopped pecans in a bowl. Spread a generous amount of icing on the bottom of a cookie, sandwich it with another cookie, pressing firmly so that the icing comes all the way out to the edge. Roll the edges of the sandwich cookies in the chopped pecans. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

RED VELVET SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until just combined. Beat in the egg yolk until just combined. Beat in the food coloring and vanilla until well blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into 2 disks, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
• Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Sandwich 1 disk of dough between 2 sheets of parchment dusted with flour and roll the dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut out rounds using a 2 1/2-inch cookie or biscuit cutter and put on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart (about 12 cookies per sheet). Repeat with the second disk of dough.
• Bake the cookies, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until set and brick red, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

RED VELVET SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and 1/8 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer) on medium speed just until combined. Beat in the egg yolk just until combined. Beat in the food coloring and vanilla until the color is evenly distributed, scraping down the bowl as needed. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture. Beat just until the dough comes together. Form the dough into two 1-inch-thick disks, wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Lightly dust a sheet of parchment paper with flour. Unwrap one disk, place it on the paper and cover with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thick. Peel off the plastic wrap and, using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart (about 12 cookies per sheet). Gather the scraps, chill until firm, roll again and cut. Repeat with the remaining disk.
• Bake the cookies until set and brick-red, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a medium bowl if using a hand mixer), beat the butter on medium speed until light and creamy. Add the cream cheese and beat until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt and beat until smooth and fully incorporated. Refrigerate the filling until it is slightly firm, about 2 hours.
• To assemble the cookies, put a heaping teaspoon of filling on a cookie and top with another cookie, gently pressing to spread the filling to the edge of the cookies.
