Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring

Add-ins

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to firm up.

Serving

  • Scoop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Pro Tips: Ensure butter is room temperature for better creaming results. Use gel food coloring for vibrant color. Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading.
Ingredient Substitutions: Try using dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for a different flavor.
How to Serve: Pair with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare dough ahead and refrigerate for up to 3 days before baking.
