Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
Mix-Ins
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set, but centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute vegan butter and ensure white chocolate is dairy-free. Keep an eye on baking time as oven temperatures may vary. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
