Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tablespoon red food coloring

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat Treat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating. Use a thermometer to confirm the flour reaches 165°F (74°C) to make it safe for no-bake consumption. Let the flour cool completely before using.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a light and fluffy base.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix well until all wet ingredients are fully incorporated, giving the dough its characteristic red velvet color.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the heat-treated flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl. Stir until the dry ingredients are fully blended and no flour pockets remain.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute them without over-mixing the dough.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Portion the edible cookie dough into small bowls, or use it as a topping for ice cream or other desserts. It can be enjoyed immediately with a spoon or stored in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Heat treatment of flour is essential to make this cookie dough safe to eat raw.
  • This recipe yields a soft, moist dough that can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • For an extra festive touch, try adding white chocolate chips instead of mini chocolate chips.
  • If you prefer a vegan version, substitute butter with vegan margarine and milk with a plant-based alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of red food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of red velvet.
