Ingredients:
230 grams cold butter, cubed
160 grams white sugar
160 grams brown sugar
450 grams white chocolate chips or chunks
470 grams all-purpose flour
25 grams cocoa powder 10 grams black cocoa 15 grams regular cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
20-30 ml red gel paste adjust to preference
Directions:
Prepare the Butter:
Place the cold, cubed butter into a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
Beat on medium speed to break the butter into smaller pieces.
Add Sugar and Chocolate Chips:
Add both white and brown sugars, along with the white chocolate chips or chunks.
Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powders.
Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on medium speed until combined.
Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
In a small bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and red gel paste.
Pour the egg mixture into the mixer and blend on medium speed until the dough comes together.
Portion and Chill the Dough:
Weigh and portion the dough into 125-gram balls.
Place the portions on a tray and freeze for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best results.
Bake the Cookies:
Preheat your oven to 180C 350F.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the cookie dough balls, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Bake on the middle rack for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the edges are crisp.
Cool and Serve:
The cookies will still be soft when you remove them from the oven. Let them cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes to firm up before transferring to a wire rack.
Enjoy these indulgent cookies warm or at room temperature for the ultimate treat!
Baking Tips:
Chilling the dough is essential for achieving the perfect chewy texture and controlled spread.
Adjust the red gel paste for a more vibrant or subtle red color.
Pair with a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee for the ultimate cookie experience.
