Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until a soft dough forms.
6. Fold in the white chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top if desired.
7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining white chocolate chips over the top.
8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
9. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Let the butter soften fully before mixing so the dough creams properly and bakes with a tender texture.
Do not overbake the cookie cake because the center will continue to set as it cools.
For cleaner slices, let the cookie cake cool completely before cutting.
