you can use beet root powder instead of food color

Hi Vicki! I don’t think that would be an issue.

Hi Thomas! The cookies can be frozen, but the sugar would likely just dissolve. They won’t be as pretty, but will still be delicious. 🙂

Yes! Just follow the instructions in our post on how to freeze cookie dough 😊

Hi Sam

Can the red valvet dough also be freezed?

Hi McKenzie! Lemon juice should work fine, you can also omit the vinegar if needed but your cookies wouldn’t have the same red velvet tanginess.🙂

I’m so glad everyone has enjoyed them so much, Dominique! 🙂

Unfortunately we don’t 🙁 Apple cider vinegar should work fine though.

I understand it could be left out – just wondering if you had an alternative that wouldn’t alter the taste at all. Also, what do you think would happen if apple cider vinegar was used instead of white??

Ace make sure you also did TABLEspoons for the cocoa too. Not teaspoons.

Hi Kaitlin! You can leave it out; the cookies will just be a brownish color instead. Enjoy!

I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Valerie! Thank you for trying my recipe! 🙂

These taste great! I had the same problem with the powdered sugar. I went heavy on the powdered sugar for the last tray and baked at 375 degrees. That last tray turned out perfect.

Hi Jennell! You can use salted butter. I would cut the salt down to a scant 1/2 teaspoon. 🙂

I’m so glad they were a hit! 🙂

Hi Cara! I hope you love the cookies! Unfortunately I am not sure on a bake time with a much larger cookie like that. 🙁

I have a pan of these in the oven as I’m typing. Can’t wait to try 1….or 2…or more 🫣 I already have them all rolled out without the powdered sugar. I’m wanting to make each cookie bigger, so I was thinking of possibly putting 2 dough balls together. Would you know how long I would need to cook them if I was to do that?

I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy them, Ace, I worked very hard to make sure this recipe had a genuine red velvet flavor and am disappointed it didn’t come through for you, I really feel like we nailed it! Also, this is the only comment I see from you, even checking my spam filter… nothing has been deleted? It sounds like you may be having a computer issue.
