Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups and 2 tbsps flour spooned and leveled
- 2 tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup salted butter, softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon red gel food coloring
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- To a small bowl add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine then set aside.
- Add softened, salted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated white sugar to a large bowl. Cream the butter and sugars with an electric mixer for two minutes, or until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg yolks, vanilla and red food coloring and mix on medium speed for two minutes, or until the mixture is fluffy.
- Add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Then add in the white chocolate and mix just until incorporated.
- Scoop the dough into 18 balls. Arrange the dough two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool for an additional 5 minutes before eating. (Add extra white chocolate chips on top after baking if you desire.)
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
- NOTES
