Instructions
- Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and light, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla, and food coloring, then beat again, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- I highly recommend you cover and chill the dough for 1 hour, as it has a tendency to be stickier than other doughs, thanks to the food coloring.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop balls of cookie dough onto the parchment lined baking sheets, spacing them a couple inches apart so the cookies have room to spread. Bake for 10-12 minutes until set around the edges and the cookies are just starting to lose their glossy shine in the centers.
- Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie for effect. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- You can freeze individual balls of cookie dough and bake straight from frozen. Just add an extra minute or two to the bake time.
