Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 3 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cups Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbsp Red Food Coloring
- 1 tsp White Vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups White Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This takes about 2–3 minutes.
- Add the Wet Ingredients. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, buttermilk (or vinegar), and red food coloring. Stir until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix, or the cookies may become dense.
- Fold in White Chocolate Chips (Optional). Gently fold in the white chocolate chips if using.
- Scoop and Bake. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly soft.
- Cool and Enjoy. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
