Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips optional for added sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, blending until a soft dough forms. Fold in white chocolate chips if using.
  6. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers appear slightly underbaked.
  2. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For substitutions, you can use margarine instead of unsalted butter and opt for plant-based alternatives if needed. Ensure not to overbake to maintain a fudgy texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
