Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed lightly
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour heat-treated for safety if preferred
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tbsp milk as needed to reach desired consistency
- red food coloring gel or liquid, to desired color
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Prepare the flour (optional safety step): spread the all-purpose flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to heat-treat; let cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together until smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and red food coloring until evenly combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt until combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until fully combined.
- Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time as necessary until the dough reaches a creamy, scoopable texture.
- Fold in the chocolate chips if using, then serve immediately or refrigerate to firm up before serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For extra safety, heat-treat the flour before mixing.
