Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups (250 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 grams) brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring (liquid or gel)
  • 1 ½ cups (270 grams) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract, distilled white vinegar, and red food coloring, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined; the batter will be slightly thin.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  7. Fold in the white chocolate chips evenly.
  8. Scoop rounded balls of dough (about 1 ½ tablespoons or 20 grams each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges look set but centers remain soft.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 20 minutes if kitchen is warm to prevent spreading. Use gel food coloring for vibrant color without extra moisture. Pull cookies from oven when edges are set but centers are still soft for chewy texture. Avoid overmixing dough to prevent toughness. Experiment with white chocolate chip brands for best melt and flavor.
