Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups + 2 tablespoons (204 g all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled)
  • 2 tablespoons 10 g Dutch process cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup 168 g salted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup 165 g light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup 50 g granulated white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks (at room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 11 ½ teaspoons red gel food coloring (depending on your desired color intensity)
  • ¾ cup 150 g chopped white chocolate or white chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated white sugar with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg yolks, vanilla, and red food coloring to the butter mixture. Mix on medium speed for another 2 minutes until the mixture is fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chunks or chips.
  7. Scoop the dough into 18 balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes. For slightly underdone centers, bake on the shorter end; for crispier edges, bake longer.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Add extra white chocolate chunks on top after baking if desired.
  10. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.

Notes

**Measure your flour properly:** Avoid scooping the measuring cup directly into the flour. Instead, spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. For the best accuracy, weigh your flour. One cup of flour equals 125 grams. Proper measurement ensures your cookies have the perfect texture!
