I must say baking with the little was even more fun. As much as he loves helping out he loves tasting them!! Well just to make sure that it has right amount of everything 🙂
This recipe can be very well made with pantry ingredients. But I had to go out to pick up food color and chocolate chips as I was running short of it.

First of all mix the dry ingredients all purpose flour, cocoa powder and baking soda. Set aside.

Then I made the curdle milk by adding some vinegar into milk. This helps the cookie gets its velvety texture. (You can add lemon juice instead of vinegar as well).

I added some butter and sugar in a different bowl and mixed it well until they get fluffy, then added some red food color and vanilla extract. Mixed well to get beautiful red color.

Then added the dry ingredients and combined well. Let it rest in the fridge for about 30 mins-1 hour.

After 30 mins , the cookie dough would be hardened enough to make the balls. Make the balls using hands or you can use ice cream scoop to scoop out the dough. Place them in parchment paper and bake for 12 mins at 350 F.  Take out the cookies and place the white chocolate chips and pop it back in the over to bake for 5 more minutes.

TIP: I love to add the chocolate chip just before the cookies are done so the chocolate still stays white. It’s my personal option to add them towards the end as white chocolate tend to burn and brown in oven.
