Red Velvet Creamy Pops


This Valentine's day surprise your loved ones with these cookie pops filled with cream cheese frosting….



Ingredients:


120 gm all purpose flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
50 gm castor sugar or powdered sugar
60 gm butter
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Few drops red color (adjust according to the color brand, I used Wilton color)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

2.5 oz. cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
3/4 cup icing sugar + extra for sprinkling
Lollipop sticks

Method: 

  • Shift flour, cocoa powder and baking powder together and keep aside.
  • In a bowl, cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy mixture.
  • Add vanilla essence and beat again. Add all the dry ingredients.
  • Mix color and milk together and add to the flour mixture. Combine all the ingredients gently to form a dough.
  • Preheat oven to 180 deg C.
  • Roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness and cut into heart shape with cookie cutter.
  • Place cookies on baking sheet and bake for about 7-8 min or till done.
  • Cookies should be soft at this stage, not crisp. Cool them completely.
  • Using an electric mixer beat the cream cheese and vanilla together.
  • Slowly add the powdered sugar until smooth and thick.
  • Turn bottom of the cookies over and spoon a little frosting in centre.
  • Press a lollipop stick into the frosting, and then gently press another cookie on top.
  • Keep cookies aside to dry a bit to hold sticks and while serving sprinkle some icing sugar.
