Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tsp pink food coloring
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • Optional: White chocolate chips or sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and pink food coloring, mixing until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, until fully incorporated.
  6. Scoop dough into small balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Optional: Top with white chocolate chips or sprinkles before serving.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for vibrant pink hues without affecting the dough’s consistency.
  • For softer cookies, don’t overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
