Pink Velvet White Chocolate Cookies (Printable)

Soft pink cookies with white chocolate chips, easy to make and perfect for sharing.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
09 - 2 teaspoons pink gel food coloring

→ Add-Ins

10 - 1 cup white chocolate chips

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
02 - In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
03 - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the pink gel food coloring and mix until evenly tinted throughout.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
05 - Gently fold in the white chocolate chips with a spatula.
06 - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to help the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
07 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
08 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
09 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. The cookies may appear slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
10 - Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They stay soft for days, which means you can bake ahead without worrying about them turning into hockey pucks.
  • The color is completely customizable, so you can go pastel or hot pink depending on your mood or the occasion.
  • White chocolate chips melt just enough to create pockets of creamy sweetness in every bite.
  • The dough is forgiving and doesn't spread too much, so even wobbly scoops come out looking bakery-perfect.
02 -
  • Chilling the dough is not optional, I skipped it once and ended up with pink pancakes instead of cookies.
  • Use gel food coloring, not liquid, or your dough will be too wet and the cookies will spread like crazy.
  • Don't overbake them, they should look slightly underdone in the center when you pull them out, trust me on this.
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop for perfectly uniform cookies that bake evenly and look professional.
  • If your butter is too soft, the dough will be greasy, aim for butter that holds its shape but dents easily when pressed.
  • Rotate your baking sheets halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots, it keeps the color even.
