Ingredients
Scale
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp pink food coloring
½ cup buttermilk
1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Mix in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until combined.
Fold in the white chocolate chips if using.
Scoop 1 ½ tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Adjust the pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
For a festive touch, top cookies with sprinkles before baking.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
