Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the white chocolate and dark chocolate chunks gently with a spatula.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
