Ingredients
- 5 ounces unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs 1 whole egg & 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring gel coloring recommended
- 3 tablespoons buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ tablespoon salt
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup cream cheese baking chips
- ½ cup powdered sugar
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder until well combined. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the whole egg and egg yolk and mix until incorporated.
- Add in the vanilla extract, food coloring and buttermilk. Mix until fully combined.
- Stir in the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined.
- Now fold in the chocolate chips and cream cheese baking chips. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat an oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a 1 ounce portion scoop or two heaping tablespoons, scoop out the cookie dough. Once all of the dough has been portioned roll each cookie dough ball in the powdered sugar. Place 1-2 inches apart on the baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes. Enjoy!
