Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons natural beet juice
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes on medium speed.
  4. Beat in 2 large room temperature eggs, one at a time, followed by 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons natural beet juice and 2 tablespoons buttermilk (or plain yogurt/milk).
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets, about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough each.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

If cookies spread too much, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use room temperature butter and eggs for best texture. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. Pull cookies from oven when edges are set but centers are still soft. For vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter, eggs with flax eggs, and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
