These ooey, gooey red velvet cookies are moist, soft and so delicious they will make your valentine swoon!

A long time ago I fell in love with red velvet. At the time, it was in the form of a decadent little gluten-free cupcake made by my dear friend Julia. As a baker extraordinaire, she created the most luscious, mouth watering dessert I have ever had. I wasn’t the only one who loved them. Her gluten-free goodies were sold in stores and served at local restaurants in Arizona for some time. After a few years though, Julia decided it was the best thing for her and her family to not continue with their gluten-free baking. I was very sad to see her leave that talent but understood it was for she and her family’s best interest. Since then however, I have been wanting to create a dessert as memorable as her delicious red velvet cupcakes. I decided this year that I was up to the task. These ooey gooey red velvet cookies are both moist, soft and absolutely delicious. I’m not joking when I say that I ate 3 back-to-back. They are so simple to make! I used Namaste chocolate cake mix but you can use any gluten-free cake mix in this recipe.

I ended up serving these at my annual Galentines day party (more on that to come very soon) where nobody but myself has to live gluten-free. The girls said they were delicious! They thought both presentation and taste were spot on.

Now, I realize that the red dye isn’t ideal. Truly yucky stuff but to get that deep red color, it is almost impossible without it. I’ve tried the natural food dyes on the market and they just aren’t potent enough for red velvet. Feel free to leave it out if you don’t mind the lack of red color. It is much healthier for you that way.

I have to say that I may be making these delicious ooey gooey red velvet cookies for more than just Valentines. Just think, they would be perfection at Christmas time with some green sprinkles and could even make for an eerie little treat at halloween if dressed up right. We sure loved these cookies and think they will also make you and your Valentine swoon…
