This bakes the cookie up a little faster (while leaving the insides soft and slightly underdone), and less time in the oven means less spreading.&nbsp;<strong>2)&nbsp;<\/strong>Use butter that is still a little chilled. It needs to be soft enough to cream in a mixer, but you don\u2019t want it room temperature. I used the soften function on my microwave for butter, but I only put it in for half of the time. You could also let it soften on the counter for about 30 minutes.<\/li><li>The trick to the Dove Promises keeping their shape (instead of melting into a puddle on the cookie) is to immediately place the cookies in the fridge after you press the Hershey Kiss into the cookies.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Valentine's Day Red Velvet Cookies\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Ashton\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-02-17\",\"recipeYield\":18,\"description\":\"These Valentine's Day Red Velvet Cookies are the perfect treat to make for your sweetheart, class parties, Galentine's day, and pretty much everything else in February!
