Equipment

  • Cookie Sheets

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28 grams) melted
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar dark will work too
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk discard the white
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour (47 grams) measured with a measuring spoon, level off the top
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons white chocolate chips or chunks, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Line a cookie tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking pan.
  • Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until combined.
  • Whisk in the egg yolk (be sure to only use the yolk), vanilla extract and red food coloring until smooth. It will look very bright at this point.
  • Whisk/stir in the flour, cocoa and baking soda until no lumps remain.
  • Stir in 2 tablespoons of white chocolate chips/chunks.
  • Form the dough into a ball and place on the lined cookie sheet. Or form into 2 balls and place 3 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes for one cookie, or about 10-12 minutes for 2 cookies, or until the top looks set.
  • Remove from the oven and place extra chocolate chips/chunks on top of the cookie for the perfect look.

Notes

  1. Red Food Coloring: The amount you use is up to you. For the photos, I often use a little more than 1/2 teaspoon for a very bright color. Liquid or gel will work. 
  2. Nutrition: Details are an estimate only and based on the entire cookie, assuming that you make the dough into one cookie.
