    Red Velvet Cookie Bars are soft and gooey red velvet cookie bars with white chocolate chips. Perfect for Valentines Day!

    I've said it once, I'll say it again... Can you believe its February already?! I'm back in Australia and slowly but surely melting like a Popsicle. (I'm seriously not made for the hot temperatures).

    As we are in the month of February I thought it best to release a Valentines Day themed recipe. Red Velvet Cookie Bars are based on my Nutella Stuffed Red Velvet Cookie Pie recipe. That recipe has quickly become one of my (and yours) favourite recipes to date!

    Speaking of said cookie pie, that would also be a fantastic Valentines Day treat!

    Now I'm not one to celebrate Valentines day usually (#foreveralone) but if it means I get to bake delicious desserts for the occasion I'm all for the 'holiday'.

    These cookie bars couldn't be simpler. This is a one bowl recipe and they can be whipped up in 30 minutes! A perfect gift, dessert or just because!

    The only thing you need to know is I used liquid red food colouring. If you can a food colouring paste, start with only two or three drops and add more as needed to achieve the red colour of these cookie bars.

        You can add a pinch of salt if you like. I personally don't add salt as I find the salted butter is enough but that is just my personal taste
