Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl Large

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs large
  • 2 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients and prep your cooking gear. Get your pressure cooker ready, and make sure the sealing ring is clean and well-fitted so no steam escapes during cooking.
  • Cream together the cold cubed butter with both sugars until you get a light and fluffy mix. Don't rush this part since it builds your cookie's structure.
  • Add the eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract to the butter mix. Mix everything well until you get a nice red velvet color with creamy texture.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This pre-mix helps your dry ingredients blend even in the wet dough.
  • Gradually add the dry mix into the wet batter. Stir gently just until you don't see flour anymore. Overmixing can toughen the dough, so keep it easy.
  • Fold in those white chocolate chips slowly so they spread evenly through the batter without breaking up much.
  • Scoop big dollops of dough on a piece of parchment paper inside the pressure cooker basket.
  • Add about one cup of water into the cooker base, cover carefully, and seal the lid.
  • Pressure cook at high pressure for about 10 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally to get the best texture.

Notes

To store, use an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft, or freeze in zip-top bags and warm gently when ready to eat again.
