Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Strawberry extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pink gel food coloring
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and strawberry extract to the bowl. Continue mixing until well incorporated.
Gradually mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the pink gel food coloring to the dough and mix until the color is uniform and vibrant. Adjust the amount of food coloring as needed to achieve your desired shade of pink.
Stir in the white chocolate chips and optional sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon-sized scoop or spoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be just set, but the centers may look slightly soft. This will keep the cookies chewy.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your Pink Panther Cookies!
