Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the red food coloring and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined, being careful not to over mix.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze individual cookies for longer storage, up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
