Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, mixing well after each addition to prevent lumps.
- If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dough to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for enhanced flavor).
- Portion out the chilled dough into small balls (about 1-2 tablespoons each). Enjoy as is or roll in granulated sugar.
- For a fancier treat, serve in a bowl with vanilla ice cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup or cream cheese frosting.
- Use the cookie dough as a filling for cupcakes or a topping for brownies.
- Create a cookie dough bar for parties with various toppings like sprinkles and crushed cookies.
- Transfer any leftover cookie dough into an airtight container, pressing down to remove air pockets.
Notes
- Ensure that the flour is heat-treated if you are concerned about raw flour safety.
