Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in red food coloring and vanilla extract until the batter is a vibrant red color.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips gently.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are slightly soft. Cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cookies are fully cooled, spread cream cheese frosting on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.
- Store sandwich cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest, most consistent cookie dough • Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant red color without altering the batter's consistency • Don't overmix the dough – mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for more controlled spread and better texture • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes to ensure even baking • Let cookies cool completely before adding frosting to prevent melting • For extra elegance, dust cookies with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate
