Soft and chewy cookies with the classic red velvet flavor, except that it is made with green food coloring to make green velvet cookies. These easy and delicious cookies make the perfect treat to bake for St. Patrick’s day this year. A chocolate kiss candy is topped on each cookie after they have baked, like a classic blossom cookie. The green color of the cookies makes them fun for St. Patrick’s day or Christmas.
The cookie dough is made similar to a classic red velvet cookie dough, then instead of using red food coloring, green food coloring is added into the cookie dough until it is fully green. Use a cookie scoop to place the cookie dough onto a large ungreased baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through. Remove them from the oven and place one chocolate kiss on each cookie.
