Red Velvet Crinkle Cookie

We stopped by Panera this weekend, as we often do before or after one of our massage therapy sessions, and this time, they had red velvet crinkle cookies for the holidays.  My mom had a free pastry on her rewards card, so we all decided to split one of the cookies.  It was described on the packaging as a "red chocolate flavored cookie with cream cheese flavored chips and rolled in powdered sugar."


The cookie itself was definitely topped with a lot of powdered sugar, but it wasn't very red until you tore it open.


Inside it was a bright vibrant red color, just as you would expect red velvet to look. The cookie was rich and a little sweet (but not overly sweet), but it didn't taste that much like chocolate to us.  Some of the chips did taste like rich cream cheese, similar to a red velvet cupcake's frosting.  It was a good, soft, chewy cookie, and perfect for the holiday.
