Ingredients

1 cup - cold butter
½ cup - brown sugar
1 cup - granulated sugar
2 - eggs
1 ½ teaspoons - vanilla extract
1 tsp - lemon juice
2 ¾ cups - flour
¼ cup - cocoa powder
1 tsp - baking soda
1 pinch - sea salt
1 tsp - red food coloring
1 cup - white chocolate chips
1 cup - chocolate chips

Instructions

First, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on high until creamy, until no clumps of butter remain. This usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
Then, add in eggs, vanilla and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Next, add in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine.
Add in red food coloring. Continue stirring until dough is uniformly red. If needed, add more food coloring.
Fold in white chocolate chips and regular chocolate chips.
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto parchment lined pan. Space at least 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until middles of cookies are barely set.
Finally, remove from oven. Cool on pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
