Red velvet cookies are a classic to have around the holidays, or Valentine’s day. But instead of using red food coloring, for these cookies green food coloring is used. These easy delicious cookies are perfect to bake for St. Patrick’s day or for Christmas. They make a fun alternative to red velvet cookies.
The cookie dough is made like a classic red velvet cookie dough, with cocoa powder added to the dough. But instead of using red food coloring, green food coloring is used to make the cookie dough green. Use a cookie scoop to place the cookie dough onto a large ungreased baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
