Red Velvet cookies with condensed milk 🌰🍫🍪🎄✨

Perfect cookies to enjoy during the holidays, easy to make and absolutely delicious 😋🤎🍪🍫!! This Christmas I wanted to try making cookies with condensed milk and give them a more original touch with praline chocolate, and honestly they turn out incredible 🤤🤤🌰🍫… I admit they didn’t work out the first time 🤫🤣🤭😬… but they did the second time hahaha 💪😍😋

Ingredients (8 cookies of approx. 100g each)

🧈130g unsalted butter
🥛250g condensed milk
🥚1 egg
🥄1 tsp vanilla extract
❤️‍1 tsp extra red food coloring
🌾250g pastry flour
🥄10g baking powder
🥄4g baking soda
🍫10g pure cocoa powder
🍫170g chopped praline chocolate
🧂1/2 small tsp coarse salt

Elaboration

🍪In a bowl, sift and mix the flour together with the baking soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder. Set aside
🍫In another bowl, beat the butter, add the condensed milk and beat until fully combined
🌰Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue beating
❤️‍Add the food coloring and beat until well combined
🍪Add the reserved dry ingredients mixture (flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and baking powder). Mix until a cookie dough forms (it will be a bit soft)
🍫Add the chopped chocolate. Mix
🌰Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes so it’s easier to shape
❤️‍Form dough balls of approx. 100g, place them on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes or 1 hour in the fridge

🍪Preheat the oven to 170°C
🍫Remove the cookies from the freezer/fridge and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (I bake 4–5 cookies per batch)
🌰Bake the cookies for 15 minutes at 170°C (top and bottom heat).
❤️‍Once baked, let them cool on the tray for 5–10 minutes, then transfer them with a spatula to a rack to finish cooling 🍫❤️
