RED VELVET THUMBPRINT COOKIES
So Day 2 brings these Red Velvet Thumbprint Cookies with a vanilla buttercream frosting! I absolutely ADORE these cookies. They’re not only delicious but oh so pretty. These would be an excellent addition to a “cookie board” aka create a charcuterie board but swap the charcuterie for all sweet treats.
Notes
If frosting is just too loose, add more granulated sugar . If it's too thick, add more cream (or milk).

You may be wondering how I got this vibrant red color? you'll use red coloring from the normal dropper style coloring , but let me allow you to in on a touch secret. Gel coloring . You don’t need to use tons and therefore the colors are far more brilliant. you'll find gel coloring at any baking store (I bought Wilton brand from Michaels). Here may be a great starter set of 8 colors on Amazon!
I filled these thumbprint cookies with a vanilla buttercream frosting, but you'll absolutely use a cheese frosting, melted chocolate , or a ganache made with white or bittersweet chocolate . many options!
These red velvet cookies would be beautiful served for Christmas (or Valentine’s Day) or gifted up for friends or neighbors.
