  • Total Time: 42 minutes
  • Yield: 28 cookies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups + 1 tbsp (300g) all-purpose flour (measured accurately)
  • 2 tbsp (14g) cocoa powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (104g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (112g) light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp red food coloring (less than 1 ounce)
  • 1 cup (169g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  2. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and mix until well combined.
  5. Add the vanilla extract, vinegar and red food color and mix until well combined.
  6. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until well combined.
  7. Stir in the white chocolate chips. Keep about 1/3 cup aside to press into the tops of the cookies, if desired.
  8. Create 1 1/2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough. Gently roll into a ball and set on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press reserved white chocolate chips on top, if using.
  9. Bake cookies for 7-9 minutes. Cookies will spread and centers will look soft. Don’t over bake.
  10. Remove from oven and allow to cool 4-5 minutes on baking sheets before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
