½cupgranulated sugar
½cupbrown sugar
1largeegg
1tspvanilla extract
2tspliquid red food coloringor 1/2 tsp gel red food coloring
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line 2 large baking pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and white chocolate chips together in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together until smooth, about 60 seconds.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until combined. Add more food coloring if you want your cookies to be a deeper red color.
On low, mix in the flour mixture until combined.
Use a cookie scoop to form 2-inch balls. Place 6-8 balls on each of the baking pans. Bake one pan at a time.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies have started to dry out on top.
Once baked, removed from the oven and press some white chocolate chips into the cookies. Let them cool for 5 minutes then set them aside on a cooling rack to cool completely before repeating the baking process with the remaining dough balls.
