These New York–style Red Velvet Cookies are thick, chewy, and packed with creamy white chocolate chips. With their rich cocoa flavor and striking red color, they’re as beautiful as they are delicious — perfect for when you want indulgent, bakery-style cookies at home.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 large cookies

Ingredients

230 g cold butter, cubed

160 g white sugar

160 g brown sugar

450 g white chocolate chips or chunks

470 g all-purpose flour

25 g cocoa powder (10 g black cocoa, 15 g regular cocoa)

1 tsp salt

3 tsp baking powder

2 large eggs

1 egg yolk

1 tsp vanilla extract

2030 ml red color paste (or to preference)

Instructions

  1. Place cold butter cubes in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and beat until broken down.
  2. Add sugars and white chocolate chips, mixing until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powders, baking powder, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix on medium speed.
  4. Whisk eggs, egg yolk, vanilla, and red color paste in a small bowl. Pour into the mixer and blend until dough forms.
  5. Portion dough into 125 g balls and freeze at least 3 hours or overnight.
  6. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Bake frozen dough balls for 16–18 minutes, until tops are lightly browned and bottoms crisp.
  8. Cool on the tray — cookies will firm up as they cool.

Notes

  • For smaller cookies, portion dough into 60 g balls and bake 10–12 minutes.
  • Black cocoa powder deepens flavor and color, but regular cocoa works fine on its own.
  • Dough can be frozen up to 2 months — bake straight from frozen.
