# What You'll Need:

→ Dough Base

01 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/4 cup brown sugar
04 - 1 tablespoon milk
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/2 tablespoon red food coloring

→ Dry Ingredients

07 - 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
08 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Mix-ins

10 - 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer registers at least 165°F. Allow treated flour to cool completely before incorporating into dough.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
03 - Add milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the creamed mixture. Mix until all liquids are thoroughly incorporated.
04 - Sift in cooled baked flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Mix gently until no visible traces of flour remain and a cohesive dough forms.
05 - Gently fold in mini chocolate chips to ensure even distribution throughout the dough.
06 - Portion dough into bowls and serve as is, or use as a topping for ice cream and other desserts.

# Notes:

01 - It is essential to cool heat-treated flour fully before incorporating to prevent melting the butter and altering dough texture.
