Cookie 6: Red Velvet Chip Cookies

Every year for my mom's birthday I bake her a red velvet cake. Although this isn't her favorite cookie, (it's tomorrow's cookie, MONSTER cookies) I still consider this the Susie Cookie. I would say it is her second favorite from my 25 days of cookies. I have tried various red velvet cookies over the years and this is the one that has stuck. This cake to cookie recipe is perfect for a Holiday Cookie Swap!
