Add a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder, then fold in the ingredients using a spatula.

Add 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour, folding in half at a time and scraping the bowl to ensure everything is combined.

Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped white chocolate.

Refrigerate the dough for around 30 minutes before baking.

Preheat your oven at 180° C for 10 minutes before baking.

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the dough and transfer to the baking tray, spacing them evenly.

After 12 minutes, check the cookies; they should smell incredible and look well baked.

Let the cookies sit on the baking tray for around a minute before transferring them to a cooling rack.
