Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies

makes 16-20 cookies

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup cocoa powder (I used Ovaltine because its sweeter (and therefore much better)

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup white chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 375.

Cream butter and sugars together until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and combine until smooth. Beat in red food coloring. Stir in cocoa, flour, baking soda and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Using (big) rounded spoonfuls drop dough on cookie sheets and bake for 10-12 (I think 11 was perfect) minutes. Cool on pan for 3 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. I didn't cover mine and they were good overnight. I don't know about the second day-- they didn't make it that far!
