These Red Velvet Cookies with three kinds of chocolate chips will be a favorite Valentine’s Day treat this year.
A couple months ago I made these Chocolate Mint Cookies. I had to give them away, or I would have eaten the entire batch of cookies before the day was over. They were that good!
Have you tried the cake mix cookies yet? They are one of my favorite go-to cookies at the moment.
I love quick and easy they are to mix up and bake. You could bake them right away, but I like to let the dough chill in my refrigerator for about 30 minutes. It helps the dough from spreading out too thin. And DO NOT bake them more than 9 minutes. They will look very undone, but they will set up quickly.
My favorite way to eat them is fresh out of the oven. The center is still so gooey and soft and just perfect. Plus the chocolate is so melty and delicious.
I wanted to make some of these Red Velvet Cookies with a Valentine’s flair for this month. When I was shopping at Walmart I found the Nestle Valentine’s mix of chocolate chips. Every bite of these cookies has a good amount of chocolate in it.
The best thing about these cookies is that they stay soft for about 5 days. I’m sure they would stay soft longer, but cookies just don’t last long enough in our house for me to test that theory.
I hope you like red and pink Valentine’s Day treats because I kind of went overboard this year and baked quite a few. So get prepared for a new one every day and maybe even one after the heart day is over.

Nestle discontinued the Valentines Morsels. Did the red chips have a different flavor? Or were they just red?
Any replacement suggestions?
Thank you!

They were just colored red. You can use any chocolate chips that you like in the cookies. White, milk, and dark chocolate chips would be a great mix too!
Robert says
Thanks! What do you think about using red & or pink m&m’s in place of the milk chocolate?
Jocelyn Brubaker says
I think that sounds like a great idea!

Hi ,
I was just wondering , if I freeze these cookies, how long do you think they would last being out of the fridge. I would like to make thee for friends but I must travel to go see them and I’m just wondering if they would last the trip.
Thank-you,
Tiffany

How long of a trip is it? They last 5-7 days just being in a sealed container on the counter.

I was in charge of deserts for my DH labor day party at his work. After baking 72 cupcakes and 48 cookies, I was horrified to find out the cookies had turned to bricks. Luckily I found your recipe and whipped up a triple batch of these using Hershey’s premier white chips creamy vanilla flavor. Everyone at his company loved these and they keep asking him to bring more of these cookies in. Thank you so much for a lovely recipe. Have a beautiful day.
