Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon red gel food coloring
2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- Prepare dry ingredients: Sift together the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Cream wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add flavor and color: Mix in the vanilla extract and red gel food coloring until fully incorporated.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough reaches your desired consistency.
- Fold in chocolate chips: If using, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Serve or refrigerate: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with plant-based butter and use non-dairy milk.
Customize the flavor by adding other mix-ins like white chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a dash of cinnamon.
Store the dough in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and easy to scoop.
