Red Velvet Cookies

 3⅓ cups flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 cup butter

1⅓ cup light brown sugar 

½ cup sugar

2 large eggs

2 Tbsp. milk 

2 tsp. vanilla extract

6 tsp. liquid red food coloring or as desired

2 cups white chocolate chips 

 

In a large bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk to combine the dry ingredients; set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, and beat on high speed for 1 minute; stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Add the sugars and beat for 1 minute.

Add the egg, milk, vanilla, and beat for 1 to 2 minutes; stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Slowly add the dry ingredients, little by little, beating to incorporate them as you go, until you've added everything and a smooth dough forms; don't overmix.

Add the food color; beat carefully to incorporate, taking care that it doesn't splatter up on you because it stains everything in its presence.

Add the white chocolate chips and mix to incorporate.

Form dough balls and place them on a tray to chill for up to 48 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350° and line baking sheets with parchment.

Bake for about 10-13 minutes, or just until the edges are beginning to set, even if the centers look undone because the cookies will firm up as they cool. Allow them to sit on the baking sheets and firm. up for about 10 minutes, or until they're cool enough to transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
