softened (113g / 1 stick)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
1 large egg
room temperature
⅓ cup buttermilk
room temperature (80ml)
1½ tsp vanilla extract (7.5ml)
1½ tsp gel food coloring (green—Kelly or forest green)
1 tsp white vinegar (5ml)
1 cup white chocolate chips (170g)
½ cup white sanding sugar or green sparkling sugar for rolling (100g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, gel food coloring, and white vinegar to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, form dough balls and roll them in white sanding sugar or green sparkling sugar.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a deeper green color, adjust the amount of gel food coloring used. These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
