Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring (gel or liquid)
1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugar until fluffy.
3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix until fully combined.
4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in the white chocolate chips, saving some for topping if desired.
6. Cover and chill the dough for at least 1 hour.
7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place on the baking sheet spaced apart.
9. Bake for 9–11 minutes or until edges are set but centers still look soft.
10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough to prevent spreading and improve flavor.
Use room temperature butter and egg for better texture and easier mixing.
Press extra white chocolate chips on top before baking for a picture-perfect finish.
