Print Recipe

Soft, rich, and tender red velvet cookies with creamy white chocolate chips, perfect for celebrations or cozy treats. This easy homemade recipe yields melt-in-your-mouth cookies with a subtle cocoa flavor and a hint of tang from buttermilk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (60g) cake flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring (gel or liquid)
  • 1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cake flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and optional vinegar until combined.
  5. Add the sifted dry ingredients in thirds, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix on low speed just until combined after each addition.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers look soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened, not melted butter to prevent spreading. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if cookies spread too much. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Use parchment paper or silicone mats for even browning and easy cleanup. Spoon and level flour instead of scooping directly for accurate measurement.
