Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups for structure and the perfect chewy texture
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: 2 tablespoons for that subtle chocolate flavor
  • Baking Soda: 1 teaspoon for rise and spread
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon to enhance all the flavors
  • Unsalted Butter: ¾ cup (1.5 sticks) softened to room temperature
  • Granulated Sugar: 1 cup for sweetness and crispy edges
  • Brown Sugar: ½ cup packed for moisture and chewiness
  • Eggs: 2 large eggs at room temperature for binding
  • Vanilla Extract: 2 teaspoons for depth of flavor
  • Buttermilk: ¼ cup for tanginess and tender texture
  • Red Gel Food Coloring: 1-2 teaspoons for vibrant color
  • White Chocolate Chips: 1.5 cups for creamy sweetness

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set this dry mixture aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter with both sugars on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. This creaming process incorporates air that helps create a tender texture. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Step 3: Add the red gel food coloring to the buttermilk and stir to combine. With the mixer on low speed, add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then add the buttermilk mixture, then finish with the remaining flour. Mix just until no white streaks remain, being careful not to overmix which can make cookies tough.
  4. Step 4: Fold in the white chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, making sure they're evenly distributed throughout the dough. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky, which is perfect for soft cookies.
