Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (220 g)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (150 g)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature (55–65 g)
  • 2 teaspoons red food dye (10 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (15 g)
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (312 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (4 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (4 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (3 g)
  • 1 cup white chocolate with nuts, roughly chopped (150 g)
  • 1 cup milk chocolate, roughly chopped (150 g)
  • Extra chocolate pieces for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold cubed butter with brown and granulated sugar until just creamy.
  3. Add the egg, red food dye, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Add cocoa powder and mix until blended.
  5. Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Fold in white and milk chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop large portions of dough (about 140–150 g or 1/2 cup each) and place on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
  8. Press extra chocolate pieces on top of each dough mound.
  9. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are set and centers are soft.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use gel food dye for a more vibrant red color.
  • Cold butter helps create thick, bakery-style cookies.
  • Replace milk chocolate with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Stuff the center with extra chocolate or spread for a molten core variation.
