04 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
05 - 1/2 tsp salt

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
03 - Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
05 - Mix in the milk, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and green food coloring until fully combined.
06 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
07 - Drop dough onto prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, spacing about 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still soft.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10 - Melt the white chocolate with oil, if using, in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
11 - Drizzle the melted white chocolate over cooled cookies using a fork or piping bag. Allow to set before serving.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • The white chocolate drizzle transforms these from ordinary cookies into something that looks like you spent hours at a fancy bakery
  • That tender, almost cakey crumb comes from the perfect balance of acid and alkaline ingredients working their magic
02 -
  • Overmixing once you add the flour will make these cookies tough instead of tender
  • The white chocolate drizzle only works on completely cooled cookies or it will melt right off
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients combine more easily and create a more uniform texture
  • A touch of cream of tartar can help stabilize the green color and prevent it from fading during baking
