These chewy red velvet white chocolate chip cookies combine a subtle cocoa kick with creamy white chocolate bursts, creating a soft yet slightly crisp treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ounces (about 60g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring (gel or liquid)
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Sift together dry ingredients: whisk 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add wet ingredients: beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 ounces softened cream cheese; mix until smooth.
  5. Incorporate red food coloring: add 2 tablespoons red food coloring and mix until dough is evenly tinted.
  6. Combine dry and wet ingredients: gradually add dry mixture to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Fold in white chocolate chips gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  8. Portion the dough: drop rounded mounds (about 1 ½ tablespoons or 30g each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and slightly firm but centers look soft and shiny.
  10. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake to maintain chewiness; edges should be set while centers remain soft. Using cream cheese keeps cookies moist. Gel food coloring is preferred for vibrant color without thinning dough. Chilling dough for 30 minutes or overnight improves texture and reduces spreading.
