Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter and sugar. Mix on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.
- Then, add in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Add in flour, baking powder and sea salt. Stir to combine.
- Add red food coloring one drop at a time. Continue stirring and adding food coloring until dough reaches desired pink color.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop balls of cookie dough onto lined pan. Use hands to slightly flatten each ball of dough.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until cookies are barely set in the middle.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use cold butter straight from the fridge. Do not use melted or softened butter. This would cause the cookies to spread too thin.
- Mix butter and sugar until no clumps of butter remain. This usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
- Cookie dough will be thick.
- Add as much or as little red food coloring as desired. Add slowly.
- Use hands to flatten cookie dough balls before baking.
- Bake only until cookies are barely set in the middle.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
