The image shows a clear glass cup filled with two scoops of bright red sorbet, each scoop textured and slightly rough, with small dark brown chocolate chips scattered evenly on top and around the sides. The glass sits on a white square wooden board with worn edges, placed on a white marbled textured surface. In the background, a blurred white bowl and a silver spoon with a bit of red sorbet on it are visible, adding depth to the composition. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon red food coloring
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Heat treat the flour by preheating your oven to 350°F. Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake it for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a thermometer to ensure the flour reaches 165°F. Let the flour cool completely before using.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Stir in the cooled flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until the dry ingredients are fully combined and the flour disappears into the dough.
Step 5: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Step 6: Serve the edible cookie dough in bowls, use it as a topping for desserts or ice cream, or enjoy it straight from the bowl with a spoon.

Tips & Variations

For a festive twist, try adding white chocolate chips instead of mini chocolate chips.
Use natural red beet powder for coloring if you prefer to avoid artificial dyes.
If you want a thicker dough, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

Storage

Store the edible cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.
