Ingredients

– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 tablespoon milk
– 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon red food coloring (gel preferred)
– 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
7. Scoop dough balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are set and centers appear slightly soft.
9. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can chill the dough for a richer flavor and thicker cookies.
