Ingredients
Scale
Flour and Chocolate:
- 1 1/4 cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
Sweeteners and Fats:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) packed brown sugar
Flavor and Color Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring (gel preferred for vibrant color)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) mini white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Sanitize flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and roasting at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, ensuring complete cooling before further use.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blend softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until achieving a light, airy consistency.
- Incorporate milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, stirring until the mixture reaches a uniform crimson hue.
- Separately combine heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt through gentle whisking.
- Gradually integrate dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Adjust consistency with additional milk if needed.
- Delicately fold mini white chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing evenly.
- Enhance texture by refrigerating the cookie dough for approximately 30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and firm slightly.
- Serve chilled in small portions, enjoying directly from the bowl or scooped into individual serving dishes.
Notes
- Ensure flour is completely cooled after heat-treating to prevent uneven texture and potential bacterial risks.
- Adjust food coloring gradually for vibrant red color without altering dough’s moisture balance.
- Customize recipe by swapping white chocolate chips with dark chocolate, sprinkles, or nuts for diverse flavor profiles.
- Store cookie dough in sealed container in refrigerator for up to 5 days, maintaining fresh taste and safe consumption.
