    These low carb red velvet cookies are a variation of the classic red velvet cake recipe. In other words, they are chocolate cookies with red food colouring.


    Baked with almond flour, these red velvet cookies are deliciously firm once they are cooled. I found that they were better the next day after spending the night in the fridge. They firmed up and were cookies with a bit of a bite as well as all the red velvet flavouring.

    I found them a bit too addictive for my own good and every time I opened the fridge door a cookie fell into my mouth. I was in and out of the fridge all day long. Purely for research purposes of course.

    Cookie Tip

    • When rolling out the cookies, wear gloves to stop your hands becoming stained with the red colour of the cookie mixture.
    • Feel free to add low sugar chocolate chip cookies too.  I tried a batch and they were delicious but they chocolate chips did not stand out against the red cookie mixture.

      Would these work with ground almonds instead of almond flour?
