Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 144kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 6- 8 drops green food coloring*
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Melt the unsalted butter either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Beat in the egg and egg yolk, vanilla extract, vinegar, and green food coloring and mix until combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to combine.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix together until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips.
- Use a #40 cookie scoop (or by 1 tablespoon) to scoop cookies out. Roll into a ball and place on the prepared cookie sheet two inches apart.
- Press additional white chocolate chips into the tops of the cookie dough balls.
- Bake the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes or until the tops are cracked and the cookies are set. Be careful not to overbake.
Notes
Color Tip: The final color depends on the type of food coloring used. Because the dough contains cocoa powder, liquid food coloring is usually not strong enough and can result in a brown or muted color. For a true green, use a concentrated gel food coloring and adjust the amount as needed.
