Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Red Velvet Chocolate Monster Cookies

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

To start let’s preheat your oven to 350 F or 175 C if using the degrees Celsius. It is also important to line the baking sheet with parchment paper in order that the candies do not stick to the baking sheet hence making certain all the candies turn out equally baked.

Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

Beat the butter to make it soft, then add the vegetable oil, together with granulated sugar and packed brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This process lasts for approximately 2-3 minutes if one is using an electric mixer.

Then follow by the eggs, which should be beaten, and then added one at a time into the mixture to make a smooth batter. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, employing a wire whisk, whip in the flour with the cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly, with the motor running as the motor runs add the remaining dry ingredients over the wet batter and mix at slightly until ingredients are incorporated.

Step 4: Add the Mix-Ins

Once the cookie dough is formed, mix the semi sweet chocolate chips, the white chocolate chips and any extra things like the mini marshmallows or crushed nuts. These additions make the recipe achieve that which gives the monster cookie its texture and taste.

Step 5: Shape the Cookies

With a cookie scoop or tablespoon, divide the dough to golf ball size and transfer to the baking sheet lined with paper. Also, make sure that the cookies are well spaced especially in the baking tray, leaving a space of about 2 inches between each of them to allow for spreading.

Step 6: Bake

Then transfer the baking sheet to the pre-heated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, while the outer portion is somewhat firm to the touch, the inside remains slightly soft. The cookies should be closely watched during the baking period because if overcooked it will not be chewy.

Step 7: Cool

Take out the cookies in the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them on a wire rack to cool further. These cookies must be allowed to cool to room temperature before being served.

Tips and Tricks for Perfecting the Recipe

• Use room temperature butter: Unfortunately, there is no denying that cookies are yummy Now, when using the room temperature butter, the structure of the dough improves through the action of the butter’s water content when combining the flour, sugar and other ingredients and kneads into a light and fluffy dough that turns into a cookie when baked.
• Don’t skip the vinegar: This may sound quite strange, but believe it, the single ingredient that goes into the red velvet chocolate cake to make it soft-moist and not heavy on the stomach is vinegar.
• Chill the dough: Regarding the tips, if one has time then one should put the dough in refrigerator for around 30 minutes which actually helps the cookies to hold their shape and the flavors are also more developed in each.
• Food coloring: If you want your red color to be more Maroon or more pink, less red food coloring will be needed. One can also apply gel based food color for the enhancement of the color effect.
• Monitor the baking time: Red velvet chocolate cookies are quite delicate cookies and it literally takes only a few minutes for the perfect looking cookies to become over-browned so place it in the oven at 9 minutes or slightly more or less depending on your own preference. These centers should still look somewhat pale in color as you pull them from the oven.
