Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  4. Cream on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the egg, milk, red food coloring, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop dollops of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers remain slightly soft.
  3. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days and freeze for up to 3 months. Do not forget to reserve some chocolate chunks for topping before baking.
