Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups (220 g) All-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tbsp (7 g) Cocoa powder
- ½ tsp Baking soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ cup (113 g) Unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup (100 g) Granulated white sugar
- ¼ cup (55 g) Brown sugar packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Red food coloring
- 1 tsp Vinegar or lemon juice
- ½ cup (90 g) White chocolate chips for topping as desired
Instructions
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.1 ¾ cups All-purpose flour, 1 ½ tbsp Cocoa powder, ½ tsp Baking soda, ¼ tsp Salt
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer or stand mixer, cream the softened butter with the white sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.½ cup Unsalted butter, ½ cup Granulated white sugar, ¼ cup Brown sugar
- Add the wet ingredients: Beat in the egg until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar (or lemon juice). Mix until everything is evenly combined and the mixture turns a vibrant red color.1 large Egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp Red food coloring, 1 tsp Vinegar or lemon juice
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix the dough. The dough will be soft and sticky.
- Chill the dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Chilling is crucial to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the cookies: Once the dough has chilled, scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough (or use a small cookie scoop) and roll it into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add white chocolate chips: Press a few on top of each dough ball for a festive red velvet appearance.½ cup White chocolate chips for topping
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers still appear slightly soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cool the cookies: Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
