Contrasting Color Treats

The Red Velvet Black and White Cookies Alternate Shades

Joy the Baker's Red Velvet Black and White Cookies pair dark and light color schemes within a single bite. Joy chose to focus on this treat as an ode to an old recipe that she posted four years ago. She has brought them back with a gooey, delectable vengeance.

This recipe is a special post among those listed on the Joy the Baker website. She also brought this dish to the home of Ina Garten, host of the Food Network's Barefoot Contessa show.

To produce the color-coded Red Velvet Black and White Cookies, one needs cocoa powder, red food dye, eggs, sugar and butter. Thick cream cheese frosting also brought the dish in line with classic red velvet desserts, a near culinary phenomenon.
