Petunjuk

in a large mixing bowl, add room temperature butter, light brown sugar and granulated sugar. mix the butter and sugar together using a mixer or a spoon until completely combined and the mixture looks thick and creamy.

add the egg, heavy cream, white vinegar, vanilla and red food colouring, and mix this in until completely combined. you should have a relatively smooth batter.

in another bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, baking soda and baking powder. add the dry ingredients to the wet batter. use a spoon or silicone spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter until about half-mixed in.

add the white chocolate chunks and dark chocolate chunks to the bowl. gently mix everything in with a spoon or your hands until a red velvet cookie dough is formed.

once a dough is formed, place the bowl in the fridge, and let the cookie dough chill for about 30 minutes.

split the red velvet cookie dough into equal-sized portions (i weighed each one out to be 118g or about 4oz each). shape each portion of cookie dough into a subtle cone shape, with a thicker base and a narrower top. then chill the dough again for another 30 minutes.

preheat oven to 180 °C (350°F) 15-20 minutes before baking, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or baking paper.

once your cookies are ready to bake, remove from the fridge and place the dough balls on your baking sheet, making sure to put space between them so that they have enough room to spread.

press a few more chocolate chunks on the top of each cookie dough ball before baking.

bake the cookies at 180°C (350°F) for 13-15 minutes, depending on their size. they should look thick and soft, with set edges.

remove the cookies from the oven when they're still slightly underdone, and let them cool on the baking sheet for a while so that they can firm up a little. they will continue to cook as they cool.

serve with a glass of milk, and let's eat!
