Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start baking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 230g cold chopped unsalted butter
• 160g caster sugar
• 160g light brown sugar
• 450g white chocolate chips
• 475g plain flour
• 25g cocoa powder (a mix of regular and black cocoa is recommended)
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp red food coloring (preferably paste, not liquid)

Step 2: Prepare the Cookie Dough

1. Cream the Butter and Sugars

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold chopped unsalted butter, caster sugar, and light brown sugar.
   • Use an electric mixer to cream the ingredients until light and fluffy.

2. Add the Eggs and Vanilla

   • Beat in the two whole eggs, the additional egg yolk, and the vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Incorporate the Food Coloring

   • Add the red food coloring to the mixture. Adjust the amount based on your desired color intensity.

4. Mix the Dry Ingredients

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
   • Fold in the white chocolate chips gently.

Step 3: Chill the Dough

• Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors to meld and gives the cookies their signature chewy texture.

Step 4: Bake the Cookies

1. Preheat the Oven

   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Prepare the Baking Sheet

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Shape the Cookies

   • Once the dough has chilled, scoop out portions using a cookie scoop or tablespoon. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

4. Bake

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

5. Cool the Cookies

   • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
