Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Measure the ingredients accurately and set them aside for easy access during cooking.
- Gather all the kitchen tools and instruments mentioned in the "Cooking Tools Required" section.
- Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit so it's ready when needed.
- Wash your hands and ensure your work surface is clean and sanitized.
- Grease the 8-inch cast iron skillet (or a suitable substitute) in preparation for baking the cookie.
Cooking instructions
- Prepare the flaxseed mixture: Mix the water and ground flaxseed in a small bowl. Set it aside for 5 minutes to allow the combination to gel.
- Soften the vegan butter: In a medium bowl, heat the vegan unsalted butter in the microwave until it is very soft but not melted.
- Cream butter and sweetener: Use a whisk to cream the softened butter and granulated keto sweetener until the mixture is creamy and slightly fluffy.
- Add milk and vanilla: Mix the unsweetened plain almond milk and vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: Add the almond flour, coconut flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix the flour mixture till everything is combined.
- Fold in mayo and food coloring: Gently fold the vegan mayonnaise and natural red food coloring until combined.
- Prepare the skillet: Pour the batter into a well-greased 8-inch cast iron skillet.
- Bake the cookie: Place the skillet in the preheated oven at 350° Fahrenheit and bake for 45-48 minutes. The cookie is done when the outside is firm and the interior is springy but still somewhat firm to the touch. The cookie will firm up more as it cools.
- Add white chocolate chips: Once you remove the skillet from the oven, sprinkle keto white chocolate chips on the cookie, gently pressing a few into the top.
- Cool and add toppings: Allow the cookie to cool slightly before topping it with your choice of keto-friendly ice cream, dairy-free coconut whip, melted dark chocolate, crumbled freeze-dried raspberries, or fresh raspberries though chocolate topping takes the first position when it comes to toppings. Serve and enjoy!
Chef's pro tip
Let the cookie cool down slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor in your Keto Red velvet white chocolate chip cookies.
This allows the cookie to firm up and develop its rich flavor. Additionally, the cookie will be easier to cut and serve when it has cooled a bit, resulting in a more enjoyable eating experience.
