Enjoy vibrant pink velvet cookies, soft and chewy, loaded with white chocolate chips. Perfect for festive occasions or a sweet treat.
# What you'll need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
04 - ½ teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
09 - 2 teaspoons pink gel food coloring
→ Add-Ins
10 - 1 cup white chocolate chips
# Method:
01 - Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside for later use.
02 - Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
03 - Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Add the pink gel food coloring and continue mixing until the batter is evenly tinted.
04 - Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture on low speed, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough cookies.
05 - Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula until evenly distributed.
06 - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This step helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
07 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
08 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each ball.
09 - Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft. The cookies will continue to firm as they cool.
10 - Let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
