Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy for about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Fold in red food coloring and white vinegar, and if desired, white chocolate chips.
  6. Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly underbaked.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
  10. Once cooled, generously frost each cookie with the cream cheese frosting.
