- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ounce red food coloring

- Add dry ingredients except for sugar (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt) in a bowl and combine.
- In a mixing bowl beat together eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar and butter until well combined.
- In a smaller bowl, mix together buttermilk, red food coloring and vanilla extract. Add to the mixing bowl with eggs, sugar, and butter and combine.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, being careful not to overwork the batter. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Refrigerate the batter for 30 min- 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F and line a few cookie sheets with parchment paper.
