Red Velvet is such a popular trend during the holidays, especially around Christmas and Valentine’s Day. If you love red velvet, then this cookbook is definitely for you. I was shocked at everything one can make into a red velvet adaption. Deborah provides a brilliance in each and every recipe. The Red Velvet Lover’s Cookbook includes 50 recipes for red velvet creations, with everything from whoopie pies and doughnuts, to hot chocolate, ice cream and even a Baked Alaska.
Of course, with the holidays fast approaching, I wanted to share with you a yummy cookie recipe. I loved that these cookies had cream cheese in them. It was a delicious addition to make these cookies so soft and gooey inside. These cookies would make a tasty and fabulous addition to your cookie exchanges this year!
