Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the cream cheese filling set and prevents the cookies from falling apart.
Why These Cookies Are So Special
These Red Velvet Cream Cheese Stuffed Cookies are the ultimate dessert for those who crave something indulgent and eye-catching. The combination of the deep red velvet cookie with the creamy, tangy cream cheese center creates a perfectly balanced treat that’s hard to resist.
The red velvet cookie dough has a slight cocoa flavor that pairs wonderfully with the sweetness of the cream cheese filling. And, because these cookies are stuffed, they offer a delicious surprise with each bite—soft, chewy dough that gives way to a luscious, creamy center. The rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture make these cookies perfect for special occasions, or just when you want to treat yourself to something extraordinary.
Tips for Perfect Red Velvet Cream Cheese Stuffed Cookies
- Chill the Dough: If you find the dough a little too sticky to work with, refrigerating it for about 20-30 minutes before shaping the cookies will make it easier to handle.
- Don’t Overbake: These cookies are best when they’re soft and slightly gooey in the center. Keep a close eye on them during baking to ensure the edges are golden but the inside remains tender.
- Use High-Quality Cream Cheese: For the creamiest, smoothest filling, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
- Adjust the Food Coloring: If you prefer a deeper red color, feel free to add a bit more red food coloring. Just be cautious—too much can affect the flavor.
