Red Velvet Dough Bites (Printable Version)

Grab a scoop of bright red dough dotted with chocolate chips—great by itself or over your favorite dessert.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough Base

01 - 50 g packed brown sugar
02 - 50 g granulated sugar
03 - 60 ml unsalted butter, left out to soften

→ Liquid Ingredients

04 - 7 ml red food coloring
05 - 5 ml vanilla extract
06 - 15 ml milk

→ Dry Ingredients

07 - 1.5 g salt
08 - 7 g unsweetened cocoa powder
09 - 85 g all-purpose flour (make sure to heat-treat it first)

→ Mix-Ins

10 - 60 g mini chocolate chips

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Let that flour chill until it’s totally cold before tossing it in with anything else. Put flour out on a baking sheet, and bake at 175°C or 350°F for about 5 minutes. Give it a stir every so often. Make sure your kitchen thermometer says at least 74°C or 165°F. After it’s baked, wait until it isn’t warm.
02 - Grab a big bowl and toss in the butter (nice and soft), brown sugar, plus the white sugar. Mix them all up with energy until you’ve got a fluffy, smooth combo.
03 - Splash the milk in, add in the vanilla, then pour in the food coloring. Give it a big stir so it’s super even.
04 - Sift in the salt, cocoa powder, and flour you’ve already cooled down. Stir until you don’t see any powdery bits hanging out.
05 - Drop the mini chips into your dough. Gently mix so they’re all over, not just in one spot.
06 - Scoop the dough out into bowls to snack on, or pile some onto your favorite dessert if that’s your thing.

# Additional Notes:

01 - If the flour’s even a little warm when you add it, your butter will melt and turn everything greasy, so let it cool all the way down first.
