RED VELVET COOKIES

Potrebno je:
250 gr brašna
150 gr šećera
120 ml ulja
2 ravne kašike gorkog kakao praha
1 jaje
3 kašičice crvene boje za kolače (tečne)
1 kašičica praška za pecivo
1 kašičica jabukovog sirćeta
1 kašičica vanile

Najpre napraviti kakao masu - sipati kakao prah, boju za kolače, sirće i vanilu i dobro promešati da se sjedini.
Brašno prosejati sa praškom za pecivo i ostaviti sa strane.
Jaje, šećer i ulje mutiti par minuta, dok masa ne postane gusta i svetla, dodati kakao masu pa mutiti dok se boja dobro ne rasporedi.
U više navrata dodavati po malo brašna dok se ne dobije masa za keksiće, koja se ne lepi za ruke.
Uzimati po kašiku mase (ja sam koristila malu kašiku za sladoled), praviti kuglice i ređati na pleh obložen papirom za pečenje (dobije se 20 keksića).
Peći ih u unapred zagrejanoj rerni na 190˚C, 8-9 minuta (moji su bili gotovi nakon 9 minuta), ne više, bitno je da ne potamne.

RED VELVET COOKIES
You will need:
250 grams flour
150 grams sugar
120 ml vegetable oil
2 levelled tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 egg
3 teaspoons liquid red food colouring
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, liquid food colouring, vinegar and vanilla, and whisk until well combined.
Sift the flour and the baking powder and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the egg with the sugar and oil, on high, until the batter becomes lighter in colour and thick (it will take a few minutes).
Add the cocoa mix and blend really well, until the colour is equally distributed.
Finally, add the flour mixture in a few additions, until you get a shiny and thick cookie batter that doesn’t stick to your hands.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, take out portions of the batter, roll into balls and arrange on a cookie sheet lined with baking paper (you will get about 20 cookies).
Bake them in a preheated oven, at 190˚C, for 8-9 minutes (mine were done after 9 minutes).
