# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The tangy cocoa flavor balances perfectly with creamy white chocolate
  • These cookies stay soft for days when stored properly
  • The vibrant red color makes them impossible to resist
02 -
  • Overbaking is the enemy of soft cookies. Pull them out when centers still look slightly underdone.
  • Gel food coloring creates the most vibrant red without thinning your dough.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps prevent excessive spreading if your kitchen is warm.
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients incorporate better and create a more uniform texture
  • Weighing your flour with a kitchen scale is more accurate than measuring cups
