Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups (189g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)
  • 4 tsp (6g) cocoa powder*
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp (heaping) salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter , softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (55g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp liquid red food coloring, or 1 1/2 tsp gel red food coloring
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup + 1/3 cup white chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
  • Mix in egg. Add in red food coloring, vanilla and vinegar.
  • Add flour mixture and mix just until combined. Mix in 3/4 cup white or semi-sweet chocolate chips (set aside remaining 1/3 cup to use after baking).
  • Cover bowl and chill dough 1 - 2 hours until dough is nearly firm. Preheat oven to 350 degrees near the end of dough chilling.
  • Scoop dough out and shape into balls about 1 1/2 Tbsp each (or 28g). Transfer to parchment paper lined baking sheet spacing 2-inches apart.
  • Bake one sheet at a time (keep remaining dough chilled and repeat process), until cookies appear set on the edges but slightly under-baked in the center, about 10 - 11 minutes.
  • Remove cookies from oven and gently press some of the remaining white chocolate chips into tops.
  • Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container. Keep a few bread slices or large flour tortillas in container with cookies to keep them soft.

Notes

  • *Sift cocoa powder into flour mixture if it’s clumpy.
