Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • If desired, fold in white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
