Instructions:
Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar and the granulated sugar on high speed, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs and milk and beat for another 2 minutes. Alternate the whisk with the paddle attachment. Pour the flour, cocoa powder and the food colouring. Turn the mixer on medium and beat until a soft dough is formed, about 4 minutes. Turn off the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips. The dough will be sticky.
Preheat oven to 350F/180C degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop rounded balls of dough, the size of 1.5-2 tablespoons, onto prepared baking sheet. Place 9 balls onto each baking sheet.
Bake for 11-12 minutes.
Leave to cool on the pan for 5 minutes and then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
ENJOY !!!
