  • Instructions

Instructions

For the Cookies:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red food coloring until well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips by hand.
  • Use a ⅓ cup cookie scoop (approximately 80-85 ml) for jumbo cookies or a 1 tablespoon scoop for mini cookies. Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing jumbo cookies 3-4 inches apart and mini cookies 2 inches apart.
  • For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent spreading. (This step is optional for mini cookies.)

Baking the Cookies:

  • Bake jumbo cookies for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers remain soft. For mini cookies, bake for 7-9 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • In a stand mixer or mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.

Decorating the Cookies:

  • Once the cookies are completely cool, pipe a swirl of cream cheese frosting onto each cookie.

Recipe Notes
Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the dough ahead of time and freeze as cookie dough balls. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time.
Optional Additions: Top the cookies with red velvet crumbs or festive sprinkles for Christmas. Add sprinkles before baking for a fun holiday touch!
