- ½ cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
- ½ cup Sugar
- ½ cup Light Brown Sugar packed
- 1 pc Egg

- 1½ cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ⅓ cup Cocoa Powder
- 2 teaspoon Red Food Color

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease with baking spray or butter.
- Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt & cocoa powder, set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter, sugar & brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Reduce speed to low and add in egg and vanilla.
- Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add in red food coloring and mix until evenly distributed and mixture is red (add more food coloring if needed).
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and with the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture, beating until just incorporated.
- Add in the tablespoon of milk (or more if needed) and mix to combine.
- You may add chocolate chips at this stage if you like, white, chocolate or mint (green) chocolate chips (about 1 cup) - your choice.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and put one white chocolate candy disk in the center of each cookie.
- You must do this while the cookies are fresh out of the oven - still warm and soft to embed the candy disk.
- Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Enjoy!
