Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Butter should be about 80% melted.
Whisk until butter is completely melted.
Add the sugars and whisk until well-combined.
Stir in vanilla and egg until incorporated.
Whisk in the food coloring and vinegar until combined.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Please read the recipe note about properly measuring flour.
Mix dough until just combined. Dough should be soft and a little sticky but not overly sticky.
Stir in white chocolate chips.
Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough and place 3 inches apart on baking sheet.
Bake for 10-18 minutes, or until cookies are set. They still look a little underbaked in the middle.
Notes
Butter:
I use salted butter.
Brown sugar:
I use light brown sugar, but dark brown sugar would also work.
Food coloring:
I used regular food coloring. Gel food coloring would also work.
Flour:
To properly measure the flour, weigh or sift/stir to break it up. Lightly spoon into measuring cup and level.
Cocoa powder:
I use unsweetened cocoa powder in this recipe.
White chocolate chips:
Cream cheese chips are also good in this recipe. You could also use chocolate chips if you prefer.
Whisking:
I recommend mixing the cookie dough by hand. This will help to keep it from getting overmixed or ending up cakey.
Underbaking cookies:
Slightly underbaking the cookies helps to keep them soft.
