Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (use heat-treated or edible flour for safety)
- 2-3 drops red food coloring (gel preferred for vibrant color)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Optional: edible glitter or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and ensure the butter is softened for easy mixing. Use gel food coloring for a vibrant red hue.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and red food coloring. Continue blending until the color is evenly distributed and the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing well after each addition until the dough is thick and pliable.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips to ensure every bite has chocolate goodness.
- For optimal texture, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. Serve immediately for a softer, more molten experience.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for best vibrancy and color consistency.
- Always use heat-treated or edible flour for safety when eating raw cookie dough.
- Customize with mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruits for added flavor.
