Ingredients
- 1¼ c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ⅛ tsp. salt
- ½ c. unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ c. granulated sugar
- 1 lg. egg
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. liquid red food coloring
- 1⅓ c. sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ c. milk chocolate chips
- 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 c. chopped pecans
Instructions
- Position your oven rack to the center position and preheat to 350°F. Line the b bottom and sides of an 11 x 7-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and beat on medium high-speed until fluffy and light in color. Beat in egg and vanilla on high-speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Beat in the food coloring until combined. With the mixer running on low-speed, slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. The red velvet dough will be quite thick and sticky.
- Using a rubber spatula, spread the dough in an even layer into the prepared baking pan. It's very sticky, so take your time pushing it into each corner of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on.
- Sprinkle the coconut over the cookie layer, followed by the semi-sweet chips, milk chocolate chips, then the white chips. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top. Sprinkle with pecans. Bake until set, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a rack for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.
