Ingredients

2 eggs large

1 ½ tablespoons red food coloring
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl, and cream together on medium-high speed until very pale and fluffy (approx. 3 to 5 FULL minutes).
Add the eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract, and beat on medium speed until smooth (approx. 1 minute).
Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatular, then add the flour, cocoa, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, and stir together until just barely combined.
Add the white chocolate and semisweet chocolate chips (witholding a handful of each for garnish), and stir together until just barely incorporated (do not overmix at this stage).
Use a ¼-cup trigger scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, allowing at least 3 inches in between for spreading.
Garnish the cookies with the remaining chips, and bake until set around the edges but still a little wet towards the centers (approx. 8 to 12 minutes).
Cool completely on the baking sheet.*

Notes

*Cookies will be extremely tender while still warm, but they will firm up a lot as they cool.
