I had high hopes for these cookies as I LOVE red velvet. Planned on red cookies with green sprinkles. However, these cookies tasted like flour and crumbled in our mouths. I baked the next batch for less time thinking I may have overbaked them, but those also crumbled. The cream cheese frosting I topped them with was the only thing we liked. Glad we tasted before I sprinkled so I didn't waste them. Will not be making them again.

This was the one cookie my husband requested I make again this year that he remembered. I wasn't crazy about them but my "Cookie King" husband was. I may try cream cheese frosting though this time .

I do not understand the bad reviews some have made. I always make cookies for friends and also sell them at Christmas time. This yer, this was one of the "new" cookies that I decided to try. They were were loved by my friends at the church I attend and several people ordered whole batches of these cookies. This is a definate cookie to save!

These cookies just weren't as moist as I had hoped. The flavor was good. Overall, lots of work for a cookie which wasn't that special.

WONDERFUL. My husband's new favorite - didn't want me to share with work but did anyway and they love them too. Another recipe I'll have to make every Christmas.

The cookies were okay not horrible but definitely not good enough to make again, I could taste the shortening in them, followed the recipe to a T, but they were just a little too dense coupled with the shortening flavor, its more than I can handle, definitely won't make this one again.

I also followed the recipe exactly as stated, even folding in the egg whites and chps by hand. I have never been a red velvet fan, but really enjoy these cookies. They are just sweet enough and the chips add a wonderful taste to the cookie. I really liked the frosting. It wasn't overly sweet, but I did add red sugar to the tops instead of the cookie crumbs. I would definitely make these cookies again.

I thought I had misread the recipe, but I had followed it correctly. These cookies have no taste. They taste like flour. I had to change the frosting to give them some flavor. Not going to be a favorite in this house.

Just finished icing the last of them and they are very good. I know my sons that always want Red Velvet cake will be very happy to have these cookies.
