Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 cup white chocolate chips
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease or line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar, then beat until smooth and evenly combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined.
6. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared cake pan.
8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is just slightly soft.
9. Let the cookie cake cool completely before frosting.
10. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream or milk until smooth and fluffy.
11. Pipe or spread the frosting over the cooled cookie cake, then decorate as desired before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use gel food coloring if you want a deeper red color without adding too much extra liquid to the dough.
Do not overbake the cookie cake. The center should still look slightly soft when it comes out of the oven.
For the cleanest slices, chill the frosted cookie cake for 20 to 30 minutes before cutting.
