Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (more if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon red food coloring (gel preferred for vibrant color)

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup mini white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat-Treat the Flour: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes to kill any potential bacteria. Allow the flour to cool completely before using to ensure safe consumption and proper texture.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process incorporates air to create a smooth, creamy base for the dough.
  3. Add Milk, Vanilla, and Food Coloring: Mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until well combined. Adjust the amount of food coloring if you desire a more vibrant red hue.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt to evenly distribute these dry components before adding to the wet mixture.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing. If the dough feels too dry, incorporate an additional tablespoon of milk to reach the desired consistency.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini white chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough, adding a sweet, creamy bite.
  7. Chill (Optional): For optimal texture and flavor melding, chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve: Scoop the edible red velvet cookie dough into small bowls or enjoy it straight from the mixing bowl as a delicious, safe-to-eat dessert treat.

Notes

  • Heat-treating the flour is essential to make this cookie dough safe to eat raw by killing harmful bacteria.
  • Gel food coloring is preferred for a more vibrant and concentrated red color.
  • You can adjust the milk quantity to achieve your preferred dough consistency.
  • Chilling the dough helps enhance the flavors and firms up the texture for easier serving.
  • Store leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
