Gluten Free Red Velvet Cupcakes

It is that time of year again, Valentine’s day is coming up. For moms of elementary school age kids this means classroom parties. With one of mine still in elementary school this meant I needed to figure out what I was doing for my daughter and her class. I figured what could be more perfect for a Valentines day party than some Red Velvet Cupcakes, to be exact Gluten Free Red Velvet Cupcakes.

Red Velvet Chip Cookies

Since yesterday I wrote about a southern favorite with a twist, bacon pralines, so I figured I would continue with another southern favorite with a twist for my fourth day of my Homemade Christmas. Today I have taken the traditional red velvet cake and turned it into a cookie! No mixes here, I have created a gluten free red velvet chip cookie made from scratch! Honestly, I was hesitant at first red velvet is something that I do not make much of because of the red dye but if I do say so myself I make a kick butt red velvet cake and special occasions call for special cookies. These cookies are definitely special cookies. They have just a touch of cocoa powder and soured milk that helps give them the flavor of a traditional red velvet. I then used white chocolate chips in the place of frosting. After all there is no need to debate which frosting is the proper frosting for red velvet. Life is short so have a cookie instead!
