Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder Natural preferred
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter Room temperature
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar Packed
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tbsp Buttermilk Tangy flavor secret
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp Red gel food coloring Americolor or similar
  • 1 cup White chocolate chips Plus extra for topping

Method
 

  1. Dry Mix: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt
  2. Creaming: Beat butter and sugars until fluffy (approx 3 mins).
  3. Wet Mix: Add the egg, buttermilk, vanilla, and red gel coloring. Mix until vibrant
  4. Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in chips.
  5. Chilling: Cover dough and refrigerate for 60 minutes.
  6. Bake: Scoop 1.5 tbsp balls onto a tray. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-11 minutes

Notes

Use Gel Food Coloring to keep the dough thick. Always chill for at least 1 hour to prevent spreading. These cookies are best when the centers still look slightly underbaked when pulled out of the oven.
