Equipment

  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Medium Bowl
  • Large Bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Wire Rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1.625 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled (1 ½ cups + 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.75 cup salted butter softened (1 ½ sticks)
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or paste
  • 1-1.5 teaspoons red gel food coloring (for that perfect hue!)
  • 0.75 cup white chocolate chopped or white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper – this helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
  • In a medium bowl, gently whisk together your flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mix aside for a moment.
  • Grab a large bowl and add your softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat these ingredients for about 2 minutes until the mixture looks light and fluffy.
  • Now, incorporate the egg yolks, vanilla, and red food coloring into the butter-sugar mixture. Continue mixing on medium speed for another 2 minutes until everything is well combined and fluffy.
  • Slowly add your dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Finally, fold in your chopped white chocolate until it's evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Divide the dough into 18 equal balls and place them about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. For a slightly softer, chewier center, bake on the shorter side; for crispier edges, go a bit longer.
  • Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful treats!
