Description
A delicious recipe for red velvet cookies loaded with white chocolate chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1⅔ cup cake flour
- ¼ cup natural cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons red food coloring
- 2¼ cups white chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cake flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Give the bowl a whisk and set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamed.
- Mix the eggs, vanilla, vinegar and food coloring into the butter mixture. It will be very vivid at this stage.
- With the mixer on a low speed, beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. I typically do this about ½ at a time. The dough will be very thick. You may need to use your hands to get all the dry ingredients incorporated.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to 48 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- If the dough has been in the fridge overnight, you may need to let it sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes first so that it’s easier to work with.
- Form the dough into large balls – you can use a ¼ cup or ⅓ cup measuring cup. I like to weigh mine – each was 3 ounces (100 grams). Place 2½ inches (about 6 cm) apart on the lined cookie sheets.
- Bake 1 sheet at a time in the middle of the preheated oven. The cookies will take about 12-15 minutes, or until the tops look set.
- Cool the cookies on the cookie sheets for at least 15 minutes. For perfectly round cookies, when the cookies are fresh from the oven take a large biscuit cutter or very large mug and place around a cookie. Then make a gentle circular motion to trace the outside of the cookie.
Notes
- Be sure to measure the flour and cake flour properly, either using a kitchen scale or whisk first, then spoon into dry measuring cups and level off the top.
- Because these cookies are very thick, do not try to transfer them to a cooling rack quickly or they will fall apart.
