Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Honestly love red velvet cake more then anything. Its the perfect mix of vanilla with a touch of chocolate, and a creamy icing that just melts in your mouth. These cookies taste just like the cake but with a crispy touch to it, and filled with white chocolate chips.

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tbs cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
8 tbs butter, at room temperature
6 tbs all vegetable shortening, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 tsp white vinegar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbs red food coloring
1 1/3 cups white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda and salt, set aside.

Add butter, shortening and sugar to the bowl of an electric stand mixer and mix on medium speed until very pale and fluffy about 4 minutes. Add egg and egg yolk and mix until combine.

Add vinegar, vanilla and food coloring and mix until well blended. Slowly add in dry ingredients and mix just until combine. Mix in 1 cup white chocolate chips. 

Scoop dough out by the heaping tablespoonfuls and roll into balls and place lined cookie sheets. Gently press about desired amount of white chocolate chips into the top of each cookie, being careful not to flatten the cookies. 

Bake for 8 - 9 minutes. Allow to cool about 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
