If you're looking for a convenient variation to your red velvet cookie recipe, why not try baking these delicious cookies in the air fryer? These red velvet chocolate chip cookies are loaded with red velvet flavor and can be enjoyed as is, with a serving of vanilla ice cream, or topped with cream cheese frosting for added decadence!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 egg, room temp
- 1 ½ cup gluten free flour, I used Schar Mix C or 1 TO 1 Measure for measure or Bob Red Mill
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cups butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- red food GEL coloring add little by little for your desired color, i used about 1 ½ teaspoon
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
- In medium bowl combine together salt, baking powder, cocoa powder and flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar for4 minutes until fluffy with an electric hand mixer.
- Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract and continue to whisk. Stir in your food coloring. I find that gel coloring works best as it distributes evenly in the mixture. Add small batches at a time referring to packaging instructions.
- Now combine wet and dry ingredients, fold in chocolate chips, cover and let chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
- The cookie dough should resemble playdough and you should be able to easily shape it into small balls. When ready to bake, preheat the Air Fryer to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Take about 1 heaping tablespoon of dough and roll it with your hands into a ball. Place into air fryer basket.
- Bake the dough balls for 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely after which they can be stored in an airtight container.

NOTES
- What flavor is red velvet? Red velvet cookie dough is creamy with a hint of cocoa and loaded with chocolate chips. It has a cake-like quality in cookie form that’s irresistible.
- Any leftover air fryer red velvet cookies can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days. Cover them with plastic wrap tightly, and keep them in an airtight container or a cookie jar to prevent them from drying out.
- Once the cookies are done baking, remove the air fryer basket from the air fryer but allow the cookies to first cool (for about 5 minutes). Then transfer these to a wire cooling rack. This is recommended so the soft cookies don’t fall apart once cooled.
- It’s normal for these air fryer cookies to be soft once freshly baked in the air fryer. They will harden as they cool.
- Don't roll cookie dough for too long in your hands otherwise, the dough will warm and create spreading.
