Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 12 teaspoons pink food coloring (gel recommended)
  • 1 ½ cups (270 g) white chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in vanilla extract and pink food coloring until the dough turns a soft pink shade. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chunks using a spatula, spreading them evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop dough using a tablespoon or medium cookie scoop, placing dollops 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If dough is too soft or sticky, chill for 15 minutes before scooping to prevent spreading. Use gel food coloring for vibrant pink without thinning dough. Cream butter and sugars well for soft, fluffy cookies. Check oven at 10 minutes to avoid overbaking; centers should look slightly underbaked for chewy texture. Optional variations include almond extract, raspberries, or dairy-free substitutions.
