Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients to ensure everything is ready before diving into making the dough.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream them together until smooth and the mixture lightens slightly in color.
- Add the vanilla extract, red food coloring, and cocoa powder. Mix until all ingredients are well blended.
- Gradually incorporate the flour into the mixture, stirring gently. Do not overmix.
- If the dough feels too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired creamy consistency.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
- Taste the dough, and adjust sweetness or chocolate flavor as desired.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a firmer texture, if preferred.
- Scoop out portions and enjoy directly or serve in small bowls.

Store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze scoops for later enjoyment.
