Blue Velvet White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 and 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 and 1/2 tsp cornstarch
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 6 tbsp vegetable shortening
• 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 and 1/2 tsp white vinegar
• 1 and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• Blue food coloring (preferably gel)
• White chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line your baking sheets with silicone baking mats; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, shortening, and sugar for 5 minutes. Add in the egg, egg yolk, vinegar, and vanilla and mix for 3-5 more minutes until smooth and creamy. Add in the food coloring, a tiny bit at a time, until your desired hue is reached.
4. Add in the dry ingredients and mix on low until combined.
5. Using a 1 and 1/2 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop cookies onto prepared baking sheets a couple inches apart. Press 8 white chocolates chips into each dough ball.

6. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple minutes on the baking sheets before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
