Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) buttermilk (or ¼ cup milk + 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons red food coloring (gel-based preferred)
  • 1 ½ cups (270 g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a large bowl, cream softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and red food coloring until dough is a rich red hue.
  5. Add buttermilk and mix just until combined.
  6. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until no flour streaks remain; avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in white chocolate chips gently, reserving some to sprinkle on top of cookies.
  8. Scoop rounded balls of dough about 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Press extra white chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Do not overbake.
  10. Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter that is not melted to prevent spreading. Gel food coloring is preferred to maintain dough consistency. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Chill dough for 15 minutes if too sticky. Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies. Watch baking time closely to keep centers soft and chewy.
