Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugars: Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Mix in egg, vanilla, and red food coloring until fully combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the dough and mix until just combined.
  4. Fold in white chocolate chips.
  5. Chill the dough: Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  6. Bake: Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are set.
  7. Let cool 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

For deeper red color, add an extra teaspoon of food coloring. Avoid overbaking — the cookies should stay soft in the center for the perfect texture.
