# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy and Fats

01 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

→ Sugars

02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

→ Liquids and Extracts

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, heat-treated
08 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Add-ins

10 - 1/3 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread all-purpose flour on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ensure it reaches 165°F with a thermometer. Allow to cool completely before use.
02 - In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars using an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.
03 - Mix in milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring at low speed until fully incorporated.
04 - Gradually add the heat-treated flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Mix just until the flour mixture is fully absorbed and no dry flour remains visible.
05 - Gently fold mini chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
06 - Spoon dough into serving bowls or use as a topping for desserts or ice cream. Enjoy immediately or store as desired.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Heat-treating flour by baking or microwaving eliminates harmful bacteria, making the dough safe to consume raw.
02 - Store dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze up to 3 months.
03 - Allow refrigerated dough to come to room temperature before consuming for best texture.
