Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Pink food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in white chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
- Add a few drops of pink food coloring and mix until you achieve a soft pink hue throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Drizzle melted white chocolate or sprinkle with pink sugar for additional decoration.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted. Room temperature butter creates the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: When adding dry ingredients, mix just until combined to keep cookies tender and prevent toughness.
- Food Coloring Tip: Add pink food coloring gradually. Start with a few drops and mix thoroughly to achieve your desired shade.
- Spacing is Key: Leave about 2 inches between cookies on the baking sheet to prevent them from merging during baking.
- Watch the Edges: The perfect cookie has lightly golden edges but a soft, slightly underbaked center. Remove from oven when edges just start to turn golden.
- Cooling Technique: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to help them set properly.
- Optional Glamour: For extra pizzazz, drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with pink sugar after cooling.
