You don't even have to do that. Open TextEdit, and go to preferences. In there you can set the New Document preference to Plain Text.

Now whenever you launch TextEdit, it will open a plain text document. Just stick it in the Dock, and give it a click!

People really do find complicated ways to do simple things! :)
