Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring (gel or liquid)
  • 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and slightly glossy.
  5. Add the red food coloring and mix until the color is vibrant and even.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the white chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  8. Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat completely, then place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges look set but the centers remain soft.
  10. Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter, not melted, for the best texture. Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies tender. Rolling the dough balls in powdered sugar is essential for the signature crinkle effect. If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling. Cookies will firm up as they cool, so avoid overbaking. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
