  2. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone liners. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer add the butter and sugar.
  3. Using a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium for 3 minutes. The butter/sugar mixture will appear light in color and fluffy.
  4. Add one egg at a time, beating directly after adding. After adding each egg, blend the vanilla in the mixture. Add in the red food coloring, beating at low speed until mixed.
  5. In a large bowl add both types of flour, cocoa, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt, and whisk to combine.
  6. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture while the mixer is on low speed. Continue beating the mixture until a soft dough is made. With the mixer on low beat in the chocolate chips until mixed.
  7. Put in the refrigerator, uncovered, until chilled for about 20 minutes.
  8. Using an ice cream/cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls weighing approximately 3.5 oz. Using your hands form the dough into a tall ball. Place 4 dough balls on the baking sheet, staggering each one. Using your hand, lightly press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly.
  9. Bake at 410 degrees for 8-11 minutes. The cookies will be slightly gooey in the center.
  10. Set it to the side to allow it to cool.
