Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 tsp red gel food coloring
Signature Add-Ins:

Optional Additions:
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and red food coloring until evenly combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in white chocolate chips (and optional add-ins if desired).
Shape the Cookies:
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion dough into evenly sized balls. Place them on the baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
Bake:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
