Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon red food coloring
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat Treat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flour reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. This process makes the flour safe for raw consumption. Allow the flour to cool completely before use.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with both granulated and brown sugars. Cream them together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, creating a light and fluffy base.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring with the creamed butter and sugars until all are fully combined and the mixture has a uniform color.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the heat-treated flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly until the flour mixture is fully absorbed and no dry spots remain.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the edible cookie dough into bowls to enjoy immediately, use it as a delicious topping for desserts and ice cream, or simply savor it with a spoon straight from the bowl.
