Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring (gel or liquid)
  • 1 ½ cups (270 grams) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg until combined, then mix in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until the batter is vibrant and glossy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently until no visible streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips gently, distributing them evenly.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating halfway through baking. The edges should be set but centers still soft.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened (not melted) butter for the best chewy texture. If dough is too sticky, dust hands with flour or chill dough for 15-20 minutes before baking. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even results. Avoid overbaking to keep centers soft and chewy. Store leftovers in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain moisture.
