Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate, if preferred)
- 2 tbsp sprinkles (optional, for Valentine’s theme)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this step.
- Add the Cocoa and Flavoring:
- Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
- Incorporate the Flour:
- Gradually add the flour, a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. You may need to use your hands to finish mixing the dough, but it should be soft and slightly sticky.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in both the mini chocolate chips and the dark chocolate chips (or your preferred variety). If using, mix in sprinkles for a Valentine’s Day touch.
- Chill the Dough:
- Once mixed, scoop the dough into small balls, or roll the dough into a log and cut out little heart shapes with a cookie cutter. You can also just scoop spoonfuls of the dough and roll them into balls.
- Place the dough balls or shapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Serve:
- After chilling, the dough is ready to be served! Enjoy it straight from the fridge, or allow it to soften slightly at room temperature before eating.
Notes
- Safety Tip: Since this recipe uses raw flour, it’s important to heat-treat the flour beforehand to ensure it’s safe to consume raw. To heat-treat flour, spread it in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, then allow it to cool before using.
- You can shape the dough into small heart-shaped bites for a festive Valentine’s look, or simply scoop it into balls.
- Store any leftover dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
