Red Velvet Cookies with White Chocolate (Printable)

Soft, chocolatey cookies with creamy white chips and a tangy red velvet twist.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

02 - 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

03 - 1 tsp baking soda

04 - 1/2 tsp salt

05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

06 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil

07 - 1 cup granulated sugar

08 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed

09 - 2 large eggs, room temperature

10 - 2 tsp vanilla extract

11 - 2 tsp red food coloring

12 - 1 tsp distilled white vinegar

13 - 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

02 - Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

03 - Beat the butter, oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.

04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar until fully combined.

05 - Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

06 - Stir in white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

07 - Scoop dough (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

08 - Bake for 11-13 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly soft.

09 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

01 -

The tang from vinegar balances the sweetness perfectly, just like real red velvet cake but in cookie form
White chocolate chips were practically made for this flavor combination, they melt into little puddles of heaven

02 -

Overmixing the dough makes tough cookies, stop as soon as the flour disappears
The vinegar might seem strange but it is absolutely necessary for that signature red velvet tang
