# Ingredient List:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 1 tsp baking soda
04 - 1/2 tsp salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1 cup granulated sugar
07 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
10 - 1 tbsp red food coloring
11 - 1 tsp distilled white vinegar

→ Mix-ins

12 - 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
04 - Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar until smooth.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
06 - Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 tablespoons each onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until edges are set and centers look slightly soft.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The texture is incredibly soft and chewy, with edges that crisp up just enough while centers stay tender
  • That classic red velvet flavor shines through without being overwhelming, especially when paired with creamy white chocolate
  • They come together in under 35 minutes and look impressive enough for any gathering
02 -
  • Overbaking is the enemy of soft cookies, so pull them from the oven when centers still look slightly underdone
  • Gel food coloring produces a more vibrant red without adding excess liquid that can affect the dough's consistency
  • Room temperature ingredients incorporate more smoothly, so set out your butter and eggs about 30 minutes before baking
03 -
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky or warm, which helps prevent excessive spreading
  • Rotate your baking sheets halfway through baking for evenly cooked cookies
