These Crumbl-style red velvet cupcake cookies combine the iconic flavors of red velvet cake with the chewy texture of a cookie, topped with a luscious cream cheese frosting. A fun and indulgent treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

½ cup butter (salted or unsalted)

⅔ cup brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon white vinegar

1–2 teaspoons red gel food coloring

¼ cup cocoa powder

1 & ¾ cups all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons cornstarch

½ teaspoon baking powder

4 oz cream cheese (softened)

3 tablespoons butter (softened)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, cornstarch, and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring to the butter mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough into 1 ½-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon or your hand to create a slight disc shape.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the cream cheese frosting: Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
  10. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar, and continue to beat until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.
  11. Once the cookies have cooled completely, pipe or spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting on top of each cookie.

Notes

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Let them come to room temperature before serving.

These cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Freeze the cookies before frosting, then frost once thawed.

If you’re worried about cookies spreading too much, chill the dough for 10-15 minutes before baking.

If you don’t have gel food coloring, liquid food coloring can be used, but the color may not be as vibrant.

If you prefer, you can skip the frosting and enjoy the cookies on their own.
