Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (see notes on how to heat treat for safety)
  • 2 tablespoon buttermilk
  • Red food coloring
  • ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in vanilla and salt.
  • Slowly beat in cocoa powder and flour until combined. Mix in buttermilk.
  • Add red food coloring and mix until combined.
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Cookie dough should stay fresh for 5-7 days when stored properly.

Notes

  • To ensure flour is safe for eating (raw flour can cause foodborne illness), you should bake it before using. Just spread flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. Let cool before using in cookie dough.
