  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 tbsp cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp red food coloring
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • a pinch of salt
  • white chocolate hearts (optional)

Directions:

Step 1

Add 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla sugar in a large mixing bowl, and whisk well using an electric mixer. Next, add 1 large egg and 1 tsp red food coloring. Continue to whisk until combined. Set it aside. In another bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 tbsp cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix, then add it to the creamed butter mixture.

Step 2

Cover the dough and place it in the fridge for at least three to four hours (overnight preferably). After this, take the dough out of the fridge and let it soften to room temperature (about ten minutes). Once done, roll the dough into balls, then place them in a parchment paper-lined baking tray, leaving some space between them. Place it in a 375 degrees F oven and bake for ten to thirteen minutes. Once you take them out of the oven, place the chocolate hearts on top immediately (optional). Let them set for five minutes, then serve.

Since I lover experiments, Iโ€™ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
